To kick off TE1, Greg breaks down the history and evolution of the tight end position before speaking with Hall of Famer Mike Ditka. Before Super Bowl Shuffles and SNL Sketches, Ditka had over 1,000 yards receiving and 12 touchdowns in his rookie year with the Bears… in freakin’ 1961. Greg talks with Coach about growing up in Pennsylvania where he struggled to hit curveballs and guard Jerry West on the basketball court. They weave through his time with the Bears, his lost years with the Eagles and how “a man named Landry” brought him down to Dallas and changed the course of his life. 

TE1 is presented by Chevy Silverado.
