What happens when your dream finally calls your name—and your family needs you home by bedtime? We open up about navigating NFL fame as two 21-year-olds, the ego swell of public praise, and the quiet work of washing bottles, packing boxes, and keeping a marriage steady through chaotic seasons. The story isn’t about celebrity; it’s about structure, humility, and choosing the home team when the spotlight tempts you to forget who you are.

We walk through the early years in Kansas City, the hard lessons in Tampa, and the abrupt transition to Jacksonville that hit right before school started—with a baby on the way and a house to sell. You’ll hear the tools that saved our sanity: a simple family playbook, clear roles, weekly rhythms, and a move kit ready for sudden calls. We talk openly about saying no to hype, resisting the pull of “I’m the guy,” and the power of a spouse who can hand you the baby and remind you of your real job. Along the way, we share how trips home, church community, and generational connection kept our kids anchored while the zip code kept changing.

If you’re chasing a big career, building a business, or going back to school, this conversation offers practical ways to keep your identity rooted and your partnership aligned. Think growth over comfort, honesty over perfection, and presence over appearances. Success tests your values before it multiplies them; the only way through is to make your lanes different but your mission one.
