About Jed Collins

From the sideline to the whiteboard. Same lessons, higher stakes.

I spent seven seasons in the NFL as a fullback. The job is to clear the path and take the hit so someone else scores. It turned out to be good training for what I do now.

I made good money young, and I watched a lot of talented guys lose theirs. Nobody hands you a life-skills manual with the contract. So I journaled through all of it, the wins and the mistakes, and that became my book, 4th & Goal.

For the last ten years I’ve taught athletes and students how money actually works. Now it all lives under one roof: Fullback of Finance. Money, mindset, and memories, for every athlete who’s realizing they’re a business now too.

The approach

What I am

A former player who kept his money and learned how, and now teaches the rooms he came from. Practical, honest, been-there.

What I’m not

Yes, I’m a CFP®. But I’m NOT a financial advisor or an agent. Not a hype man. Not a get-rich guru. Not a talking head.
