On this episode of Beyond 4th Down, Suzi Sims sits down with Johnny Padilla, a former standout defensive lineman and current Turlock High defensive line coach. A 2010-2011 All-League and 2011 All-District honoree, Johnny once led the state in tackles for a defensive lineman. Now, he’s using his experience to mentor the next generation.

Johnny shares his journey from player to coach, his approach to developing elite linemen, and how the game has evolved. Plus, he weighs in on Cowboys football, the hardest position in the sport, and whether coaching or raising two daughters is the bigger challenge!

Tune in for an insightful and fun conversation about football, leadership, and the future of the game.
