#191: David Pollack is a college football analyst, author, speaker, and host of the Family Goals Podcast.

A former NFL player and University of Georgia standout, David joined ESPN in 2009 as a college football analyst and was quickly elevated to College GameDay.
Pollack was also a contributor to ESPN’s daily college football news show College Football Live and several additional shows throughout the season. He was previously an analyst on ESPN’s Thursday Night College Football and co-host of Palmer & Pollack. He started his broadcasting career in 2008 hosting a sports radio talk show in Atlanta for 790 The Zone.

As a defensive end at the University of Georgia, he was just the second Bulldog to be named a three-time All-American. The other being Hershel Walker. During his time at UGA he was awarded the 2002 & 2004 SEC Player of the Year honors, 2003 & 2004 Ted Hendricks Award, 2004 the Lombardi Award, Lott Trophy, & SEC Defensive Player of the Year Award.

In the 2005 NFL Draft, he was a first round draft pick taken 17th overall by the Cincinnati Bengals. His NFL career was cut short, however, after he broke a cervical vertebra in a game versus the Cleveland Browns in the second game of the 2006 season. The Bengals announced Pollack’s retirement before the 2008 season.

On the show David shares his story, building resilience, parenting on purpose, identity, faith, being all in, intentionality, never quitting, marriage, faith, and much more.
