Matt Lehr, One Time NFL Pro, Joins Nerium International
by Nicole Dunkley • • 0 Comments
In 2001, fresh from the gridiron at Virginia Tech, Matt Lehr was drafted to the Dallas Cowboys. His talents on the football field, as a guard, center, and special teams player, would earn him 51 starts with five teams over the course of eight years and 98 games.
During his time with the NFL, Lehr made his home in Atlanta, Dallas, New Orleans and Tampa Bay, but today he’s back in Dallas where his professional football career began, and he’s pumping up an already stellar network marketing career by joining the Nerium International team.
Five years ago, Lehr jumped into network marketing with a health and wellness company—something he never expected to do.
