Running a business is tough enough in the best of times.
But it’s another thing entirely when even getting out of bed some mornings is difficult because your body is racked by pain. That’s what former Seahawks cornerback Marcus Trufant says is one of the hurdles faced in transitioning from the NFL to the business world.
The Tacoma native has spent three years making that jump. He has a successful string of self-storage companies, an auto-detail business and a radio show he produces and co-hosts with former Huskies running back Terry Hollimon.
But some mornings, Trufant feels the effects from a playing career that included at least 10 concussions as well as back and neck injuries.
