PAC was pivotal for me. I realized quickly that business is often about who you connect with—and I loved being in a room full of guys who get it. The people, the knowledge, the energy… it all clicked. I saw how many former players were crushing it in real estate and it opened my eyes to what’s possible when you surround yourself with the right network. It was one of the most powerful events I’ve ever been part of.

Off the field Success

Comeback & Clarity

Cole Strange has always been a grinder—but a ruptured patella tendon in the NFL challenged him in a way nothing else ever had. It was the first injury that truly tested him mentally, and the recovery process forced him to slow down, reset, and reflect. For a guy who’s always been about the work, not being able to walk was humbling. But Cole didn’t stay down for long. Through physical rehab and deep mental work, he not only came back stronger—he came back with clarity. That period of adversity reignited his drive and gave him a new perspective on who he is and what he wants. He fell even more in love with the game, the workouts, the routine—and realized that football wasn’t just a path to success, it was a core part of who he is. That journey taught him he can handle anything, and it fueled a bigger mission: to empty his bucket in every area of life, not just on the field.

The Cole Strange Foundation

Launched during his rookie year in the NFL, the Cole Strange Foundation is a deeply personal mission for Cole—centered around helping injured veterans reclaim their lives. Inspired by his own experience with injury and the mental toll it can take, Cole began to explore the broader impact of trauma, particularly PTSD. What he discovered shocked him: many veterans were suffering in silence, with limited access to the physical and psychological care they needed. Determined to make a difference, he created a foundation focused on providing support for veterans recovering from combat-related injuries—especially those with prosthetics and PTSD. The foundation recently hit a breakthrough moment, and Cole is more committed than ever to growing its reach and impact. His belief? PTSD can be healed—and he’s all in on supporting that journey. For Cole, this isn’t charity—it’s purpose. Helping veterans is one of the biggest reasons he suits up every Sunday, and it’s at the center of everything he wants to build.

Business & Real Estate

Cole Strange is just getting started in business—but he’s already making moves. After conversations at PAC and lots of late-night research, he and his brother officially launched a real estate company just a few months ago. Fueled by curiosity and a desire for long-term wealth, Cole is especially drawn to triple net leases and multifamily properties, and has already invested in a few deals. He credits PAC for helping open his eyes to what’s possible—introducing him to former players thriving in the real estate space and giving him the confidence to get in the game himself. For Cole, business is about more than income—it’s about independence, sustainability, and creating a platform that allows him to help others. Whether it’s learning underwriting formulas, taking meetings, or building out a property portfolio, Cole attacks it with the same work ethic that got him to the NFL. He’s not interested in waiting—he’s here to learn, earn, and lead.
