Carter Bradley joins Built 4 More to talk about the quiet grind, the unseen moments, and what it really means to trust God with the unknown. A coach’s kid who was never coached by his dad, Carter carved his own path, through Toledo, South Alabama, and now onto the Las Vegas Raiders.
After going undrafted, Carter signed with the Raiders, started on the practice squad, and eventually earned his spot on the active roster. Now, as he prepares for what the next NFL season may hold, he opens up about the process, what it’s teaching him about faith, identity, and resilience.
He reflects on key moments from college ball, what it’s like playing in the MAC, why the transfer portal became a pivotal point in his spiritual life, and how he learned to love football for what it is, not just for what it brings. Carter also shares what draft prep really looks like, the mindset it takes to stay ready, and which rookies he believes are about to shock the world.
This episode is for anyone who’s waiting on what’s next, working in the shadows, or learning how to pray like it depends on God and work like it depends on you.
