What Is Pro Players Business?
Pro Players Business was founded in 2015 by Brad Leggett — a center at USC, an NFL player with the New Orleans Saints and Detroit Lions, and half of the first father-son duo in Saints franchise history.
The other half was his father, Earl Leggett — a 1957 first-round pick of the Chicago Bears who played twelve years in the NFL, won the 1963 NFL championship, finished his playing career as an original New Orleans Saint, and then coached for another 25 years, including two Super Bowl wins with the Raiders. Brad didn't learn football as a job. He learned it as the family business.
Which made what happened after football harder to accept.
He'd make an introduction that turned into real business for somebody else, and then find himself written out of it. Talking to other former players, he learned it wasn't just him — it was the pattern. Guys who spent careers building relationships in their hometowns, on their college campuses, and in the businesses they moved into after the game were handing those relationships away for free.
The second thing he saw was bigger. Former pro athletes collectively hold one of the most valuable networks in the country, spread across every market in America, and nobody had ever organized it.
Today, Pro Players Business is a private, word-of-mouth referral network of former professional athletes and high-level connectors. Members introduce the medical professionals and business owners they already know to vetted partner companies in our active verticals.
The part that makes it different is the paperwork. Before you make a single introduction, you sign a free, no-obligation agreement that documents the relationship in writing. Your compensation terms are defined in that agreement before you introduce anyone.
That contract exists for one reason: it's the thing Brad didn't have.

Simple process. Real protection. Nothing to sell.
Here's exactly what happens from the day you sign to the day you're paid — and why the order matters.
Step 1 — Sign your agreement.
Free. No obligation, no commitment, no cost — ever. Your agreement documents how your commissions are structured and paid before you make a single introduction. You can sign it and do nothing. It's protection, not pressure. Once you're under agreement, you review the current vetted partner opportunities.
Step 2 — Identify a personal contact.
Think through your real network. Who do you actually know — in medical and functional medicine, dental, chiropractic, health and fitness, spa and wellness, or multi-location operations? This is not cold outreach. It has to be someone who trusts you, because that trust is what gets them on the call.
Step 3 — Register your contact first.
You register your contact in our portal before you reach out. Registration timestamps who brought the contact and protects that relationship for you while you work it. We then walk you through exactly what to say and when — the language, the timing, the process.
Step 4 — You make the introduction and you set the call.
This is the step only you can take. We don't call your contact. We never will — that would be a cold call, and it would burn the trust that makes this work. You reach out, you make the introduction, and you schedule the call with our team. Our vetted partner then runs the full presentation. You're never on that call unless you want to be.
Getting your contact on that first call is what makes the account yours. That's the proof of a real relationship, and it's the moment your ownership locks in.
Step 5 — You get paid.
If your contact moves forward, your commission triggers according to the terms in your signed agreement — verified, documented, paid. Our team handles onboarding, service, and every conversation after that.
And your account doesn't stop at the first deal. If we do additional business with that account down the road — a different product, a second service — you're compensated on that as well, under the terms of your agreement.
One introduction. One call. An account that stays yours.
The five things I changed, and why
1. Deleted "engagement team." Step 3 said "Our engagement team walks you through exactly what to say." That's your own suppression rule, and it's now been caught in four places — your homepage, your testimonials page, and twice in drafts. This is the second time I've flagged it. Set a find-and-replace habit: search "engagement" before anything ships.
2. Rewrote Step 4 — this was the real problem. Your draft said "the call gets booked through the opportunity's scheduling link." Passive voice, and it leaves open the reading that PPB books it. Your locked flow is the opposite: the rep sets the call. I made that explicit and turned it into a selling point instead of a mechanic — "we never call your contact" is a trust argument, not a limitation.
3. Cut "here's the part nobody else offers." Unverifiable superlative. It's the same claim structure you rejected from FUP ("only American payment processor") and from the AnotherZero pitch. You can't prove nobody else offers it, and it's the kind of line that gets quoted back at you.
4. Softened the perpetual-pay language. Your draft ended: "You're paid on it for as long as it does business with us." That's an unconditional promise with no exceptions, no termination case, and no reference to the agreement. Your own equity agreement review flagged the identical problem — no forfeiture triggers, no termination-for-cause. I anchored every compensation sentence to "under the terms of your agreement." This also matters because proplayersbusiness.com currently says reps get a flat fee per introduction, not volume-based residual. Until your attorney reconciles those two, do not put a hard perpetual-residual promise in public copy.
5. Changed the Step 2 industry list. You had "food & beverage." Your locked FUP target profile is medical, dental, spas, high-risk, multi-location, and peptide/wellness — with small single-location merchants explicitly excluded. Listing restaurants sends reps hunting for exactly the contacts you don't want. I swapped in dental and multi-location. Confirm this list yourself — if food & beverage is still live under a different vertical, put it back.
