A Heisman-winning running back at Ohio State, Eddie immediately enjoyed great success in his first year in the NFL, winning the 1997 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year. He would continue to accomplish a significant amount in his 9 seasons in the NFL. Eddie has also been active in his post-playing days, from participating in businesses that aim to help improve the quality of life for all Americans, to starring in the hit show Chicago on Broadway.

Instead of resting on his records, Eddie took on the challenge of his lifetime—during the past decade he has quietly built businesses aimed at helping improve the quality of life for all Americans.  Eddie, who also received his MBA from the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University in Chicago, understands that he is mostly known for his athletic accomplishments. “Since I’m mostly known for winning on the football field, a lot of people seem surprised when they hear that I’ve used my education, experience and passion to build these exciting businesses. They say ‘you’re a businessman, too?

I like that reaction,’” Eddie said.  Eddie’s vision of healthy people and healthy places is being brought to life through the commitment of everyone at George Enterprises.
