Summary
Episode #6: This week Peanut and Roman are joined by NFL Films producer Darrell Campbell. Darrell starts out taking us on his football journey from star defensive lineman at Notre Dame, to journeyman pro in the NFL, the AFL, and the CFL. That all led him to a chance meeting with NFL Films legend Steve Sabol. Darrell describes how that encounter charted his path to eventual Hard Knocks producer, and three Emmy awards. Darrell overcame many bumps along the way. He explains how the journeyman road impacted his family, and his transition from pro athlete to the "real world" as an unpaid intern. Darrell talks of those who motivated him - we're looking at you Peanut - and how his faith has kept him uplifted to reap the benefits of success he now enjoys.
