From pigskin to pancakes, from Foxborough football to French flapjacks --- we're talking about quite a career change here.
Once upon a time, Matt Chatham was a linebacker for the New England Patriots, but now, in a post-football reincarnation, he is looking to be a big-time entrepreneur with a crepe franchising business. And he just might make it.
Chatham is currently an MBA student at Babson College, and his idea for a fast-food crepe franchise called SkyCrepers recently won the top prize in the school's Douglass Foundation Graduate Business Plan Competition, which is awarded to an individual or team of graduate students submitting and presenting the most promising business plan.
