Summary

When it comes to finding motivation and overcoming objections and obstacles to succeed in life, Detroit Lions safety Tavon Wilson has done just that. His father was murdered when he was a year old, and his mother died when he was 12. He wasn’t even invited to the NFL Scouting Combine, where players get to showcase their talents prior to entering the NFL Draft. Yet he became a second-round pick of the New England Patriots, won a Super Bowl, and is now winning at life. True Underdog Jayson Waller and co-host John LeBlanc go into all aspects of Wilson’s life to learn more. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
