A primary mission of NFL Alumni is “Caring for Our Own” as we inform, assist, and serve players in their post-NFL lives. Alumni are offered a diverse package of medical, business, and legal services to help keep them and their families healthy, productive, and connected to the league and their former teammates. NFL Alumni also has a traditional mission of “Caring for Kids” across the country. Player alumni give back in their local communities by raising funds for youth-related charities through their 35 regional chapters. It is a tradition that has existed for more than 50 years and continues to raise millions of dollars in support of these local causes.

Dan Esposito


Former NFL Player, NFL Alumni Philadelphia Chapter Membership Director, Founder of New America Power. 

Dan played one year of high school football. He then walked on to the football and track teams at Millersville University and became a scholarship athlete in both sports. Dan had the attention of NFL scouts after he was named offensive player of the nation (D2) in the first game he started as a senior (3rd game of his senior year). He gained most interest from the Dolphins and Redskins as a free agent. Due to a mistake from his agent, the Dolphins lost interest and he was left with one option. Dan's high school teammate Ritchie Owens (Ritchie Redskin) was a 5th round draft pick of the Washington Redskins that year. Dan's carry with the Redskins in scrimmage was a 70 yard TD run. Unfortunately, Dan broke his jaw in his first pre-season play. He was given an injury settlement. He was signed by the New Orleans Saints the next year, where he broke his jaw again in practice over the summer. he came back for the first day of camp and was quickly cut. He thought this was the end. However, the Saints called him on the first day of the regular season and signed him to the practice squad. He was limited due to a torn shoulder that he didn’t disclose for fear of being cut again. He was released again after about five weeks of the regular season. Dan says "not the world's greatest NFL bio but a great look into the world of a bubble player."  Dan is the founder of New America Power, an energy management company.
