'NFL PLAYERS Helmets Off: From Huddle to Headset' to Air Throughout the Month of December on FSN

'NFL PLAYERS Helmets Off: From Huddle to Headset' to Air Throughout the Month of December on FSN

WASHINGTON, Nov. 30 /PRNewswire/ -- NFL PLAYERS, the licensing and marketing subsidiary of the NFL Players Association, presents "NFL PLAYERS Helmets Off: From Huddle to Headset," the fifth of six monthly television specials created and produced by NFL PLAYERS, and sponsored by Electronic Arts and Reebok.

According to the NFL Coaches Association, close to one third of the nearly 600 coaches in the National Football League are former players. In this month's edition, NFL PLAYERS Helmets Off catches up with four coaches who've traded their helmets for headsets and teach today's players the game they love. Quarterbacks Coach Jim Zorn (Seattle), Wide Receivers Coach James Lofton (San Diego), Offensive Coordinator Jason Garrett (Dallas), and Tight Ends Coach Jonathan Hayes (Cincinnati) are all highlighted in this half-hour program that looks back on their playing days and transition from the field to the sideline.

Tune in to see how Zorn, the first quarterback for the Seahawks franchise, connects with the players now calling the signals in Seattle, and visit training camp with Lofton, a Hall of Famer who runs routes alongside the Charger's young receiving corps. Watch as Garrett takes his coaching technique from the gridiron to the classroom in hopes of inspiring high school players through his "Play It Smart" program, and check in with Hayes, who discusses the tight-knit NFL fraternity and reflects on the coaching legends who've influenced both his playing and coaching careers.

Despite hanging up their cleats years ago, these coaches are still major players in the league. See how their love for the game lives on in "NFL PLAYERS Helmets Off: From Huddle to Headset," airing all month on FSN.
