https://atgridiron.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/ATG-Noble.png ()Brandon played 9 seasons in the NFL, playing with the San Francisco 49ers, Dallas Cowboys and Washington Redskins.  He also spent time in NFL Europe with the Barcelona Dragons.  He didn’t start playing football until grade 8, because his mother didn’t let him play up until then.  He loved the sport, and bugged his mom to let him play but she didn’t until then.  The funny thing is, once he experienced his first practice with pads, he did everything he could to quit!  He would fake illness, forget his helmet, and whatever he could to not play anymore.  He moved to Virginia and that allowed him to “save face” with friends and he continued to play.  He overcame his initial fears and became a top rated recruit in the State.  He chose to attend Penn State University, going with his gut, even though he almost committed to Michigan after his visit there.  He had an outstanding career at Penn State and earned All Big-10 honours there.  However his lack of prototype size for a defensive tackle made him not as attractive to NFL teams.  He was projected to be a 3rd-5th round selection prior to the draft but he went undrafted and signed as a free-agent with the 49ers.  They sent him to NFL Europe two years in a row and he absolutely loved his experience there.  It was like college without the classes.  Living in the hotel, traveling around Europe, playing football and hanging out with friends was amazing.  However after the seconds stint there he didn’t want to resign with San Fran due to the depth of talent they had on the defensive line.  So he signed with Dallas.  He finally got his opportunity with them and when circumstances provided him with a chance he made the most of it.  After establishing himself as a starter there, he later signed as a free agent with the Redskins.  He wanted to stay in Dallas but had to go where he would be compensated fairly.  His career ended rather abruptly, due to complications from surgeries that almost killed him.  On the cusp of performing a risky surgery that would have allowed him to continue playing his wife stepped in and told his doctor that “he was done!”  Not expecting to be done at that time he wasn’t sure what his next move would be career wise.  He had part-time opportunities with coaching and broadcasting and did both for a while.  He was offered a full-time coaching position and did that for a while at a few schools.  Not wanting to uproot his family constantly and all the hours spent at the facility that coaching requires he decided to leave college coaching and do something else.  He has now started Blue White-Media which covers Penn State Football and it continues to grow.  For more information on that and keep up with Brandon please go to the links provided below.website: http://www.bluewhite-media.com (www.bluewhitemedia.com)facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bluewhitemediapsu/?__tn__=%2CdkC-R&eid=ARDEMWpEq_x9MU4UBV_BC2nh5s5qT5Ih5y4-sHk_whn-rwwOi_m7VEbfVFl59FklMcBgrkeYaiskDCyo&hc_ref=ARRB7lPV5qGGQW_6GKBG1J8DlcZRVm17u_8fkDV7xd7gPCu2CY6jK_tj7W9IG7qN1AE (www.facebook.com/bluewhitemediapsu/)twitter: https://twitter.com/bnoble75?lang=en (www.twitter.com/bnoble75)Resourceshttps://www.atgridiron.com (www.atgridiron.com)http://www.symfonies.ca (www.symfonies.ca)

https://atgridiron.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/ATG-Joe.png ()Joe played 8 seasons in the NFL with the Atlanta Falcons and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.  One thing he learned to do as a kid that helped him in his career was learning to ride a unicycle.  It definitely helped with his balance.  He also liked to skateboard as a kid.  He started out in football in high school, since he was too big to play at a younger age in California.  He excelled in high school and was recruited by some top schools in the country.  Being a 3 star recruit, those schools didn’t want to wait for him to make a decision.  They wanted him to make his choice quickly.  Not knowing where he wanted to go he waited.  UNLV and coach Gary Bernardi recruited him heavily, they wanted him badly and he made a strong impression on Joe.  Due to that strong connection, and the chance to play right away, Joe decided to go to UNLV.  He performed well, however since he was at a smaller school, he wasn’t expected to get drafted or even go to the combine.  But he did, and made an impression on some teams, and thought he would become a member of the Denver Broncos.   Atlanta is where he ended up though and had an up and down 5 years with the team.  He became a starter, but injuries and coaching changes ultimately resulted in him leaving the team for Tampa.  His body continued to break down, sustaining injuries to his neck and knees and he knew his time playing would come to an end soon.  Having his 2nd contract and achieving most of his bonus incentives, he felt comfortable walking away from the game being able to have a good amount of money stored away.  He was a bit stressed having to choose what he would do next in his life.  He had business interests and opportunities but decided to do something unique.  He started his blog, Manvandogblog, and traveled the country documenting his travels and doing something he loved to do.  His goal was to inspire people to do what you love and enjoy.  He’s received lots of feedback and notes from people that were inspired by him to make changes in their lives.  He has also started a new company, Live Simpl, that is a line of nut butter snacks that people can eat on the go.  There will be more flavours coming in the near future, but right now Creamy Macadamia is what’s available.  For more information on Joe and his businesses, please go to the links below. website: http://www.manvandogblog.com/ (www.manvandogblog.com/)Live Simpl site: https://livesimpl.com/ (www.livesimpl.com/)instagram: https://www.instagram.com/manvandogblog/?hl=en (www.instagram.com/manvandogblog/)twitter: https://twitter.com/manvandogblog?lang=en (www.twitter.com/manvandogblog)Resourceshttps://www.atgirdiron.com (www.atgridiron.com)http://www.symfonies.ca (www.symfonies.ca)

https://atgridiron.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/ATG-Robert.png ()Robert had an outstanding 14 year NFL career all with the Indianapolis Colts.  He was a late bloomer, not playing football until 10th grade.  The workouts he endured at the introduction to the sport almost ended his career before it started.  He didn’t really play sports up until then so it was quite an adjustment for him to get used to.  However he endured and developed into a pretty good player.  He wasn’t heavily recruited out of high school due to his smaller stature.  He accepted his only scholarship offer which came from Alabama A & M university.  He continued to develop his skills there and by his senior season he became a dominant player.  He recorded a 1-AA record 20 quarterback sacks his senior season.  Despite his strong season he was not thought of as a top flight defensive end in the NFL.  Every team that worked him out wanted him to make the move to linebacker.  Only 1 team saw him as a defensive end at the next level; the Indianapolis Colts.  Coach Tony Dungy and general manager Bill Polian saw him being able to play his natural position at the next level, and he proved them to be absolutely correct.  Seeing 20 other DE go ahead of him in the draft fueled him to excel and become the player he became.  Along with his counterpart, Dwight Freeney, they set the trend for smaller, quick DE’s in the league.  His Superbowl championship was a memorable experience that united those players forever.  The defense finished that season poorly but they rallied with the addition some key injured players.  The AFC championship was the real Superbowl in his mind, having to defeat the New England Patriots who were a nemesis to them for years.  A slow start to the game didn’t help but coach Dungy kept them focused and they went on to victory.  The Superbowl game started poorly as well but they felt if they could get by the Patriots, then they could definitely defeat the Chicago Bears.  His transition out of football was pretty smooth for him with the team giving him a job as a defensive line coach.  He obviously was highly qualified for that position and able to share his knowledge with the active players.  He has also started the Gridiron Gang, with fellow players, that teaches the game to players wanting to make it to the next level.  He is in charge of the d-line portion of the program and loves that he can give back to the sport that has been so good to him.  For more information about The Gridiron Gang and Robert, follow the links provided below.website: https://proxathlete.com/football/ (www.proxathletes.com)Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rmathis_the1st/?hl=en (www.instagram.com/rmathis_the1st)Twitter: https://twitter.com/RobertMathis98?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor (www.twitter.com/RobertMathis98)Resourceshttps://www.atgridiron.com (www.atgridiron.com)http://www.symfonies.ca (www.symfonies.ca)https://amzn.to/2Sef9Rx (www.audible.com)

https://atgridiron.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/ATG-Markus.png ()Markus enjoyed a 5 year pro football career playing in the NFL, CFL and Europe. As a twin, he claims he’s not the best athlete in the family with his twin sister holding that title. All of his siblings are in fact holders of a state championship in their respective sports. He started playing football at the age of 10, having been a baseball player up until then. He actually went to grade school with the great Hall of Fame Baseball player Ken Griffey Jr. Even back then you could tell that he was a special player and was bound for greatness. He went to a football powerhouse high school where he won a state championship. Numerous players on the team were sought after by schools in the recruiting process. He was sick on the day when most schools came to the school to recruit so was unable to talk with the visiting coaches. A friend who came to visit the school and was attending Eastern Kentucky came by and volunteered to take him on a tour of the school. While there he met with the coach who offered him a scholarship on the spot! The coach didn’t think he had a shot to land him as a recruit but his boldness paid off. Markus left the school as the All-Time leading rusher in 1-AA football. Despite his stellar career, he was not selected in the draft. His slower 40 yard dash time at his workout was a deterrent for most teams. However he got an opportunity with the Philadelphia Eagles and made the team. After his time with the Eagles, he played in Europe, where he experienced a whole new culture. That is where he was exposed to the dislike of US citizens and realized the reason for it. He attended a soccer game while there and had the best fan experience of his life! He wish he could bottle that and bring it to North America! At the end of his time on his European team, he was not getting along with the coaches and decided to quit the team there. Upon his return, he was pursued by the Hamilton Tiger Cats and signed with them. He was initially hesitant to sign, but they convinced him to come. Newly married he brought his wife up with him after making the team out of training camp. Unfortunately they had a bad start to the season and the coach was fired. With the person who wanted him there the most now gone, Markus was soon to be let go as well. The following week he was released. He returned to the States to work for a company using his degree from Eastern Kentucky. While working his 9-5, the XFL came about and were looking for players. His wife encouraged him to play if he still wanted to pursue it. He had the application ready, however his last experience left a bad taste in his mouth for football and the politics and uncertainty of it. He ultimately decided not to tryout. He’s now working for American Auto Wire doing graphic and Multimedia for them. He also works for Apple in sales and hosts his own podcast called The Pro Fan Podcast.

https://atgridiron.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/ATG-Bernard.png ()Bernard enjoyed his time in professional football playing 3 seasons in the NFL.  He started playing when he was 12 years old, and didn’t really like playing initially.  However he stuck with it so he could be around his friends who also played.  He was recruited by some big schools in high school but decided to go to Tulane University.  It was a big surprise to everyone since they were not a strong program at that time.  However, he wanted to be part of the group that turned them around.  And indeed they were able to achieve their goal.  Another reason was for the academics that Tulane provided as a highly respected academic institution.  That incoming freshman class was a part of a 12-0 season for the Green Wave in 1998.  That season brought them national attention and helped them to showcase the talented players they had.  He and a few of his teammates definitely benefited from that and turned it into jobs in the NFL.  He was expecting to go in the 2nd or 3rd round of the draft.  Quite a few teams were displaying interest in selecting him, but he ultimately slipped to the 5th round.  The other surprise was that it was the Chicago Bears that selected him.  In the whole pre-draft process he had not seen any interest from them.  The selection was a shock to him and his family, namely his dad who laughed about it.  His draft class was small that year for the Bears, but they were determined to make an impact on the team.  They definitely did, and Chicago ended up finishing with a 13-3 record and the number 2 seed in the NFC.  Unfortunately they ran into a hot quarterback, named Donovan McNabb, who went on to beat the Bears en route to the Super Bowl with the Philadelphia Eagles.  Injuries became a factor for him in his career and forced him to make a tough decision.  He decided to retire and pursue a career as a financial advisor.  It was difficult to leave the sport he loved and worked so hard to achieve the level of success he achieved.  It’s more difficult than the general public realizes, however with a young family he had to do what was best for them.  After starting out working for another firm, he has now branched out to start his own company.  It is called Robertson Wealth Advisors, a tribute to his grand-father who was so influential to his career and life.  For more information on Bernard and his company, please go the links below. website: https://www.raymondjames.com/robertsonwealthadvisors (www.robertsonwealthadvisors.com)instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bern74/ (www.instagram.com/bern74/)twitter: https://twitter.com/potus74?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor (www.twitter.com/potus74) Resourseshttps://www.atgridiron.com (www.atgridiron.com)http://www.symfonies.ca (www.symfonies.ca)https://amzn.to/2Sef9Rx (www.audible.com)

https://atgridiron.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/ATG-Keith.png ()Keith enjoyed a long career in professional football playing for 16 years.  He spent time in the NFL, CFL, Arena Football as well as in European Football Leagues.  He started out in football in grade 8, with soccer being his sport of choice up till then.  It’s still actually his favourite sport now.  His mom didn’t want him to play because games were on Sunday, and they had to attend church.  However his coach volunteered to pick him up after church and take him to the games himself, which his mother eventually agreed to.  The rest is history.  He went on to Jr. College, and then from there chose to attend East Carolina University.  He was recruited by a few schools, but chose the Pirates due to being able to start quickly, as well as better weather than other options.  He doesn’t like cold weather.  Ironically, he ended up playing in Canada, where he made a name for himself quickly.  At ECU, he had a great career setting school records as a return man.  That led to opportunities in the NFL, but he wasn’t able to stick with a team.  Knowing about the CFL, due to a coach being a brother to CFL great Danny McManus, he came up to Canada to play.  The Montreal Alouettes had his rights so he played there.  He made a big splash his rookie season, earning East rookie of the year & special teams player of the year.  He also won the Grey Cup that season as well.  After another missed attempt to land in the NFL, he came back to the CFL and bounced around between Montreal, Winnipeg, Toronto and Edmonton.  Learning the business side of the sport and making tough decisions on where to play and choosing money vs stability.  He went to Europe to play in leagues in France, Austria and Germany where he discovered there was a love of American Football there too.  He also got a taste of coaching, getting the opportunity to coach while there as well.  He also played some Arena Football which was a fun time for him.  With his style of playing, it was an ideal fit for him.  Only downfall was going into the walls during the games.  One time he ended up in the stands a few rows up.  After moving on from his playing days, he guest coached with some CFL teams trying to get his foot in the door for a full-time opportunity.  He now has that opportunity landing a spot on the BC Lions coaching staff.  He is excited to start his 1st season with the team and is looking forward to a great season.  For more information on Keith and the BC Lions, follow the links below. website: https://www.bclions.com/keith-stokes-special-teams-offensive-assistant/ (www.bclions.com)Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/keith.stokes3/?hl=en (www.instagram.com/keith.stokes3/) Resourceshttps://www.atgridiron.com (www.atgridiron.com)http://www.symfonies.ca (www.symfonies.ca)https://amzn.to/2Sef9Rx (www.audible.com)

https://atgridiron.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/ATG-Brandon.png ()Brandon enjoyed a 7 year career in professional football which consisted of time in the NFL and CFL.  He played for the New York Giants and was part of their Super Bowl XLII victory.  The son of college football coach Mike London, he grew up immersed in the game.  His parents joked that instead of kicking in her womb, he was high-stepping!  Being a little small and not the fastest, he had to prove himself at every level.  Also being the coach’s son, there was more to prove as well.  His grand-parents are huge fans as well with his grandma being a big Cowboys fan.  While at UMass, his grandparents drove up to watch him play his last game and also to pray for his so to avoid the family curse of blowing out a knee playing in their senior year.  It definitely helped as he had an outstanding game and served notice to teams and scouts around the NFL.  He wasn’t heavily recruited out of high-school and ended up going to a Military Academy.  He showed his talents there and especially his great hands.  UMass took notice and offered him a scholarship.  That proved to be a great decision by them as he left as one of their best ever receivers, ranking 2nd in most receiving categories.  However he has since been passed by others including Victor Cruz.  After college he signed with Giants and was one of three undrafted free agents to stick with the team for the duration of the season.  He was on the practice roster and helped to prepare the team for upcoming games.   He was assigned to be Randy Moss for the preparation of the season finale for the Patriots, as well as for the Super Bowl.  His teammates, to this day, will vouch for him as being vital to their preparation and getting them ready for those games.  He tells people all the time that he won a Super Bowl with the Giants, but faces criticism because he didn’t play in the game and “even the secretary got a ring.”  His response to them is “yeah I got a ring, but you didn’t!”  In Canada, he played for the Montreal Alouettes.  He won a Grey Cup with the team in 2010.  While with the Als, he suffered a leg injury that sidelined him for the season.  Looking to the future he wanted to attend the Montreal School of Arts.  He asked then coach, Marc Trestman, for permission to go.  He credits Marc as being a mentor in his life and having a huge influence on him.  Coach Trestman said he should go, and even implied that he would be very disappointed if he didn’t.  The following season, just before camp he had an opportunity arise out in Los Angeles for the show, “Hollywood Today Live.”  After returning to the team, he realized that it was time for him to move on from football.  With heavy emotions, he informed his coach and teammates that he was retiring.  Some were skeptical of his decision, but he knew in his heart what was best for him.  Those teammates who were skeptics at the time, are now reaching out to him hoping to share in his success.  He’s now a Co-Host of Daily Blast Live which is a Nationally syndicated show.  For more information on the show and Brandon, please go to the links below. website: https://www.dailyblastlive.com/ (www.dailyblastlive.com)Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/brandonlondontv/?hl=en (www.instagram.com/brandonlondontv/)Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BrandonLondonTv/ (www.facebook.com/BrandonLondonTv/)Twitter: https://twitter.com/BrandonLondonTV?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor (www.twitter.com/BrandonLondonTV)Resourceshttps://www.atgridiron.com (www.atgridiron.com)http://www.symfonies.ca (www.symfonies.ca)https://amzn.to/2Sef9Rx (www.audible.com)
