Summary

On the latest NFL Players: Second Acts podcast, Peanut and Roman are joined by Hall of Fame cornerback Darrell Green. He joined the guys the same day the Washington Commanders announced his #28 jersey would be retired by the organization. Darrell talks about that special honor and rekindling his relationship with organization under its new ownership.

Darrell also sheds light on how despite his 5’9” frame he maintained 20 years of excellence in the NFL. He also shares how he’s made it his mission to impact the lives of young people both through his Darrell Green Youth Life Foundation and as the Associate Athletic Director at George Mason University.

And he shares the story of the long-standing beef he had with Jerry Rice during their playing days, and how he used the media to finally get Jerry’s attention. All that, and much more, in this wide-ranging interview.

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