Paul Chill has been helping others launch their careers ever since his days at Wesleyan University, when he was a defensive end on a football team with Bill Belichick. “We were teammates for one season,” Chill said. “And yes, I am very proud of that.”

Belichick went on to lead the New England Patriots to win three Super Bowl rings as their head coach. Chill went on to lead a clinical movement at the University of Connecticut School of Law, where he started as a professor in 1988. “They’ve been trying to get rid of me ever since,” he joked.
