Former NFL wide receiver JJ Birden is living a dream, and it's not on the football
field.
It's in the world of network marketing, specifically for a brand of healthy chocolate
products called Xocai.
Birden spent nine years in the NFL after being drafted out of Oregon, playing for
the Browns, Cowboys, Chiefs and Falcons in that span. When he retired in 1997, he
went looking for something to do, and found it in network marketing.
He formed Team X88, a distributor company that sells the Xocai brand both in the
U.S. and around the world.
