For today’s episode, I’m joined by NFL Linebacker Nicholas Morrow!

Nick is in his 6th season in the NFL and in his first season w/ the Chicago Bears after spending the previous 5 w/ the Las Vegas Raiders 

Nick is known for his versatility on the field and in 2020 was the only player in the NFL to record 3 sacks and 9 passes defensed during the 2020 season.

What really is remarkable about Nick is his story or his journey to the league…Nick went to college at Greenville University, which is a Division school and was undrafted after his senior season.

To those of you who maybe aren’t familiar w/ football and the NFL, Division 3 football is one fo the lower levels of college football and the chances that someone makes it to the league from a D3 school, let alone has a multi year career are slim to none

In fact, as of 2021 only 6 players from D3 school were on active rosters…which is only 0.35% of of the athletes in the league!

Needless to say Nick has defied some EXTREMELY long odds.

In this conversation, w/ nick  we discuss:

  • his Long winding  journey to league 
  • nicks mentality when he was unknown and few people believe in him 
  •  really get into the real  psyche and daily life of a professional athlete. 
  • What traits besides your traditional speed, power, agility actually make a great football player, 

And of course so much more!

Nick trains w/ us at Ignite and over the years I’ve gotten to know what a stand up and down to earth guy he is and this becomes clear during this episode
