UP On GAME Presents Conversations With A Legend. In this episode, LaVar Arrington talks with 9yr NFL Veteran Leonard Wheeler about the defining moments that lead him on a path to the NFL. Listen to Wheeler, as an eight-year-old, tells you a story about the time he saw his mother wearing sunglasses to hide a black eye. That very moment, he told his mother he would make it into the NFL and "It Will Be Ok, Mom." Leonard Wheeler pulls back the curtain on his life. He relives the moment when his mother and community stepped up to get him to Ole Miss after a coach finally tracked him down.

LaVar Arrington asks the questions, and Leonard Wheeler, with his personality, makes this a fun and lively conversation.
