PAC was an incredible experience. I got to meet so many high-level people, and I feel more confident going back to Green Bay with everything I’ve learned. It felt like having a backstage pass into every industry, and I walked away with valuable knowledge, connections, and motivation. Plus, being able to go through it with my significant other made it even more special—we attacked it together.

Off the field Success

Commitment to Training & Growth

Cornelius isn’t just working to improve as an NFL player, he’s investing in his long-term success on and off the field. As a wide receiver for the Green Bay Packers, he remains committed to refining his skills and maximizing his potential. He trains five days a week at Overdrive Elite, the same facility he’s worked with since high school, where he is not only sharpening his game but also helping improve the gym itself by funding new equipment.

Beyond physical training, he is prioritizing his mental and emotional well-being, attending summits, engaging with counselors, and diving into books that challenge his mindset. He understands that success in football and life is about more than just talent, it requires discipline, resilience, and continuous growth. Whether it’s through training, mentorship, or personal development, Cornelius is fully focused on taking his game and his future to the next level.

Exploring Real Estate & Business

Cornelius is exploring real estate and business, putting himself in positions to learn from those who have successfully navigated life after football. Through PAC, he was introduced to athletes who have built financial security through real estate, sparking his interest in the industry. Now, he is actively seeking out knowledge, surrounding himself with experienced professionals, and gaining insight into different investment strategies. While he’s still in the learning phase, he understands the value of preparation and is committed to expanding his financial knowledge to set himself up for long-term success.

Family

Cornelius is extremely close with his family, especially his two brothers, who have been a constant source of motivation and support throughout his life. He grew up training alongside his older brother, who played football at the University of San Diego, while his younger brother pursued basketball at the Naval Academy. Their competitive spirit pushed him to be the best version of himself, both on and off the field, and they continue to stay connected and support each other in their respective careers.

Black Fives Foundation

Beyond sports, Cornelius is actively involved in The Black Fives Foundation, a nonprofit founded by his father, dedicated to preserving and celebrating the history of Black basketball teams that played before the NBA integrated in 1950. The foundation educates, empowers, and inspires through storytelling, exhibitions, and initiatives that honor these pioneers. Cornelius plays a large role in using his platform to spread awareness, educate others, and make a lasting impact through the foundation’s mission.
