Miami Dolphins Defensive Lineman Zach Sieler joins Brandon Carr and David Walker to talk about his unconventional path to NFL stardom, and the unique approach he is taking to his newfound fame.

Zach was a walk-on at NCAA Division 2 Ferris State before playing his way into being a 7th round draft pick of the Ravens. Once getting to the NFL, he had to prove himself again, going from practice squads in Baltimore and Miami, to a 3 year contract with the Dolphins. Throughout his career, he has lived humbly in a RV, while building his off the field business, Clay Gulley Outfitters. He is passionate about hunting and seeing his non-football life simple, in order to provide balance in his life.

Hear his journey of taking the road less traveled!
