Austin Reed | Pressure, Purpose & His Journey to the NFL


Listen Later

We’re sitting down with Chicago Bears quarterback Austin Reed to talk about what it’s really like coming from the underdog position filled with setbacks, pressure, and trusting God even when the path doesn’t make sense.


Austin opens up about being overlooked early in his career, fighting for a shot at college football, and stepping into the unknown on draft day. He shares the emotions, doubts, and mental battles that come with chasing something bigger than yourself and how faith and family have been the foundation through it all.


This conversation is about more than football. It’s about staying true to who you are when everything around you pushes you to change. It’s about leadership that looks more like service than spotlight. It’s about realizing that real growth doesn’t happen when everything is easy but when you’re willing to get uncomfortable and trust the process.


Austin also shares how marriage and community have helped keep him grounded, why setbacks have taught him more than success ever could, and what it means to find your identity beyond the game.
