Summary

On the latest NFL Players: Second Acts podcast, Peanut is solo for this interview with 3-time Super Bowl champ Devin McCourty. The former New England Patriots safety talks to Peanut about not just playing for Bill Belichick but having fun fooling Bill with his twin brother Jason. He also shares the inside stories of Tom Brady’s trash talk during their practice battles, and what it feels like to get “Mossed” by Randy. And Devin explains why out of his three Super Bowl rings – the one from Super Bowl LI is his favorite. After completing his successful 13-year NFL career, Devin talks with Peanut about his immediate transition to his current role on NBC’s Football Night in America. The guys share their horror stories of on-air screwups, and why they work to be as great in the media space as they were on the field. And Devin reflects on his mom’s sacrifices for his success, and why she’s absolutely on his personal Mount Rushmore.
