Another week, another veteran WR to chop it up with! We've got WR Antwane Grant on the show this week, with a special appearance by '90s AFL veteran QB James Guidry.

First time in Off The Wall history interviewing two folks at the same time — and it was a fun convo! We dove into Antwane's football journey that led him to arena ball, how the CFL prepared him for playing indoors, how he met James, his years in the NAL, taking time away from the game, this 2025 AF1 season and more!

Atlantic City Blackjacks, Columbus Lions, Albany Empire, Philadelphia Soul (sort of), Nashville Kats -- what a lineup!

We also touched on James' advice to younger players and how both of them think the game can continue to grow and evolve from here!

Go give Antwane (aka GRIZZ) a follow on socials!
