Chris Long

Chris Long spent 11 years as a relentless force on the football field, winning back-to-back Super Bowls with two different franchises. But it’s what he’s done after the whistle that has made him one of the most admired figures in sports. Since retiring from the NFL, Chris has become a celebrated philanthropist, media personality, and host of the popular Green Light Podcast. His blend of leadership, grit, humor, and impact makes him a powerful keynote speaker and fireside guest.

#2 Overall Pick

The second overall pick in the 2008 NFL Draft, Chris Long was a premier pass rusher for the St. Louis Rams before joining the Patriots and Eagles, earning Super Bowl rings with both. In 2017, he became just the fourth player in NFL history to win back-to-back championships with different teams, playing key roles in both Super Bowl LI and LII.

Off the field, Chris made headlines for his philanthropic giving. In 2017, he donated his entire season’s salary to fund educational equity programs. His “Pledge 10 for Tomorrow” campaign inspired fans and businesses to do the same, resulting in over $2 million for underserved students.

The Chris Long Foundation & Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year

Chris founded the Chris Long Foundation in 2015 to support clean water access, military families, and youth education. Its flagship initiative, Waterboys, unites professional athletes and fans to fund clean water projects in East Africa. Since its inception, Waterboys has raised over $3 million and funded more than 55 wells, bringing clean drinking water to over 200,000 people.

Chris was also named the 2018 Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year for his extraordinary community impact. That same year, he launched First Quarter for Literacy, donating over 75,000 books to underserved communities and encouraging early childhood reading nationwide.

Post-NFL Career and Media Presence

Since retiring in 2019, Chris has become a trusted voice in sports media. He’s a regular analyst on Inside the NFL (CW), co-hosts Amazon’s NFL Next and Twitch NFL Next Live, and is the creator and host of The Green Light Podcast, where he brings his signature wit and insight to conversations on sports, culture, and leadership.

Chris brings a unique perspective to the stage: equal parts NFL champion, humanitarian, and relatable storyteller. Since Chris Long is such a fan-favorite, many of your audience will be excited to ask them questions directly. So, for Chris’s events, we recommend a moderated fireside chat between him and an emcee of your choice. This format allows for both open Q&A with attendees and a structured discussion that can hit on themes of leadership under pressure, the power of giving back, or his transition from pro sports to media and activism. Whatever the discussion, Chris delivers fireside chats that are inspiring, authentic, and deeply human.
