Life has not always been easy for former NFL wide receiver Donte Stallworth, but that has never stopped him from moving forward.  Stallworth is currently in the process of forging a new path after spending a fellowship with The Huffington Post as a foreign affairs reporter.

According to ESPN, he spent six months in 2014 in Washington D.C. attending national security conferences and writing about them.  Stallworth has also been a guest speaker the past two years at the NFL’s Rookie Symposium. 

This different path may not have been apparent to many after he was convicted of DUI manslaughter in 2009.  Following a year long suspension though, a remorseful Stallworth set off on a new journey.

He has since worked with the NFL to help players avoid his mistake.  It allowed Stallworth to put the finishing touches on a successful 10-year playing career.

He caught 321 passes for 4,837 yards and 35 touchdowns while suiting up for six different teams.  His best season came with the New Orleans Saints in 2005, when he caught 70 passes for 945 yards and seven scores. 

Stallworth was the 13th overall pick in the 2002 NFL Draft out of the University of Tennessee.  He was a second-team All-SEC performer for the Vols in 2001.
