On the latest NFL Players: Second Acts podcast, we have a dynamic four-piece conversation when NFL legends Takeo Spikes and Tutan Reyes join hosts Peanut Tillman and Roman Harper. Takeo and Tutan are also in the podcast game with their “Behind the Mask” podcast, and the guys all share how they’ve found a passion for the space, and how it’s been a vehicle to display the human side of your favorite athletes. Taken, Tutan and Peanut (sorry Roman) also discuss how the competitive drive that led them to become great NFL players also fueled their desire to earn master’s degrees in education. There’s a brotherhood they all speak about, and Takeo shares an example of that which may have saved Tutan’s life. All that, and more, in a conversation you won’t want to miss.

On the latest NFL Players: Second Acts podcast, Peanut and Roman have a candid conversation with former All-Pro pass rusher John Abraham. Roman starts out sharing how he first noticed John from his elaborate collection of tattoos, then realized how much of a baller John was once they played. John tells his journey of how, despite only playing one year of high school football, he became an All-SEC pass rusher and went on to play 15 years in the NFL. John pleads his Hall of Fame case to the guys and explains why he doesn’t think he’s been elected despite his 133.5 career sacks. John then opens up about his struggles to find an identity after football, and how his lowest point almost cost him his life. However, he also discusses how confronting childhood traumas led him to find peace within himself, speak positively about his NFL accomplishments, and proudly state that he’s been sober for the past four years.

We’re back! And there’s plenty of news to cover and dissect. Peter breaks down the Justin Fields trade, why Pittsburgh GM Omar Khan pulled off quite a savvy maneuver, and what it means for Chicago. Peter also discusses why saying goodbye to Saquon Barkley, as rough as it may seem, ended with an elite 25-year-old pass rusher— and why that’s a more than acceptable tradeoff if you’re NYG. Then, Rams GM Les Snead joins on extremely short notice to go 45 minutes on the career of Aaron Donald. Snead drafted Donald and is the only GM he ever played for. Snead’s stories are rich and words like “rare”, “once in a lifetime”, and “alien” are used. A beautiful tribute to one of the greatest to ever do it.
