Indianapolis — While hundreds of players are at the combine this week hoping to soon have a career in the NFL, one Lions player is spending the week looking ahead to his life after football.
As part of a three-week externship with the NFL Players Association, Josh Bynes is attending several meetings in Indianapolis this week, many of which are related to his future goal of becoming a player development director for a football team.
Bynes said Thursday he’s grown close to Lions senior director of player development Galen Duncan the past two years. Duncan’s primary duties are related to providing life skills for players, and Bynes said they talk nearly every day during the season.
