JJ Birden was 5’10” and 150 pounds when he suited up for Marty Schottenheimer and the Kansas City Chiefs throughout the early 1990s. Birden was a dependable receiver with a knack for getting open and making the tough catch. Fast forward to his post-NFL life, and Birden is still finding ways to be successful.

These days, Birden, 49, has a website (JJBirden.com) and a self-published book slated to hit stores in May, entitled When Opportunity Knocks, 8 Surefire Ways to Take Advantage, showcasing his thirst to help others.
