Summary

On the latest NFL Players: Second Acts podcast. Former Dallas Cowboys defensive lineman Chad Hennings joins Peanut and Roman. Chad is the first guest on the show who’s second act is playing in the NFL. He shares incredible stories from his first act; serving the country as a fighter pilot in the Air Force. Chad describes why he relished being a pilot, catching G-Forces in A-10 Warthog jets and the dangers of combat missions. And we hear how that Air Force experience helped him transition to the NFL in 1992 as a 27-year-old rookie playing for none other than Jimmy Johnson’s Dallas Cowboys. What was it like inside the locker room of the ‘90s Cowboys dynasty? Chad tells us in a conversation you won’t want to miss.

The NFL Players: Second Acts podcast is a production of the NFL in partnership with iHeart Radio.
