On this episode of the Beyond the Helmet we are joined by 7 year defensive tackle in the NFL, Akeem Spence.

While the podcast normally dives into how to achieve success and overcoming obstacles, there is a different tune this time around. Akeem came in with a full head of steam!

Akeem is one of the very few active NFL players openly speaking out against what is going on. He shares some of his strong feelings on:

- How the NFLPA is failing the players
- The lack of safety/health protocols for COVID
- Why most player won't speak out like him
- How the NFL has failed to support it's players on race issues

I did my best to help guide some of the opinions Akeem wanted to share, but I mostly tried to stay out of his way so he was able to speak his mind - something, again, that few players are doing.

Check Akeem out on social media and be sure to give us a follow + share this episode with someone who will enjoy it.
