You may remember Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila sacking quarterbacks at will with the Green Bay Packers at the turn of the century. His get-off speed was rare. Only Clay Matthews has sacked the quarterback more as a Packer.

He was a player who loved chatting up teammates, coaches and media members alike about faith. A lot. That’s not uncommon.

Everything that happened from about 2019 on? Well, that has raised eyebrows.

There’s a good chance you stopped everything you were doing to read Kalyn Kahler’s compelling series at Sports Illustrated, “Pray for Kabeer.” The story of KGB’s life took a dark turn in the public eye when he sent two friends to his children’s school with guns. She explored in-depth.

These last few years, Kahler drove the story of Kabeer and Straightway Truth Ministry further with her new podcast: “Spiraled.”

Gbaja-Biamila isn’t alone. Other ex-NFL players — including another ex-Packer —have also joined Straightway and made news for the wrong reasons.

We chatted all about the show here on the Go Long Podcast. It’s a chilling tale that’ll have you binging in a hurry.

Today, Kahler is an NFL senior writer at ESPN. You can follow her on X.

Listen to episodes of “Spiraled” everywhere you access podcasts, including Apple and Spotify.

Thanks, everyone.
