Just days after being traded from the Las Vegas Raiders to the New York Giants, CC and Ryan are joined by NFL Tight End Darren Waller. In a span of one week, Darren married WNBA star Kelsey Plum and found out that he'll be moving across the country to start a new football chapter with a team on the rise. The episode details his early impressions of Big Blue, expectations for the upcoming season, behind-the-scenes of the trade, navigating trade rumors and adversity in his career, and how all his personal & professional experiences have shaped who he is today. From his Darren Waller Foundation, Comeback Stories Podcast, youth scholarships, to numerous acts of service - Darren is devoted to using his own early struggles to help others overcome their issues with addiction. The episode closes out with a very poignant reflection of how Darren and Kelsey support each other as married professional athletes and how a practice squad warm up changed the trajectory of his career.
