We recently sat down with friend of the lounge, Dewayne Washington. Dewayne was a first-round pick in the 1994 NFL Draft from North Carolina State University. As a former American football cornerback in the National Football League, his long list of credits includes playing for the Minnesota Vikings, the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Jacksonville Jaguars, and the Kansas City Chiefs. If that's not impressive enough, we know you'll be drawn to his magnetic nature and the authentic dialogue in this Behind the Smokescreens episode about life as an NFL star athlete.⁠
