The offseason is tough grind for players and some players get the added stress of a second job. For Vikian Marmeladov the job he does, during the offseason to keep some extra cash in his pocket, is data analyst for a medical company. When asked about it he answered with a bit of blush “It's not the most exciting work...well honestly it's on the other side of the spectrum compared to playing in the NSFL. But it's something I love to do. I’ve always loved working with numbers and the medical field helped me achieve that.” Marmeladov graduated with a major in biology and a minor in statistics from University of Central Florida. “It has been awesome how understanding my company has been to allow me to still play during the season and keep my mind at work. I won't bore you with the details but it's me really just sitting and reading numbers all day. I would love to one day maybe shift over to a sports side of analytics or at least dip my feet in that.” When asked which job he prefers he answered with a smirk, “Well I love playing football but I know I can't do that forever and well...I cant get hurt with the analyst job.”
