Former professional football player Sean Cattouse now teaches high school level physical education.

Super Bowl fever is upon us! When thinking about the upcoming game, I am reminded that many times fine athletes also make talented classroom teachers. One example of this is Sean Cattouse, a former NFL player who now teaches physical education in a Chicago high school.

Sean was born on October 4, 1988, in Chicago, Illinois. As a young man, he attended Gurdon S. Hubbard High School in his home town. After his high school graduation, he played college football at the University of California, Berkeley

In 2012, Sean was signed by the San Diego Chargers, for whom he played one season. The next season, the 6’2″, 210-pound free safety played for the Chicago Bears.

Sean inaugurated his career as an educator at Muchin College Prep School in 2015. Muchin is a public four-year charter high school located in the Chicago Loop. Currently, he teaches physical education at Rauner College Prep High School in Chicago, Illinois. Rauner College Prep is a public four-year charter high school located in the West Town area of the city.

Way to go, Sean!
