That's the thing that the hardest part about the NFL, but the part I miss the most is how unforgiving it is, man.

You know, like it doesn't care if you're old or young, black, white, did you make the play?

And I think if the rest of the world worked that way, where it was just results driven, what are you bringing

to the table? We don't care about anything else. I think we'd be in a much better spot than me.

Welcome to the next episode of What's Next with Eric Wood. Our next guest is an eight-year NFL veteran who grew

up in my hometown of Cincinnati, Ohio. He would go on to win Super Bowl 41 with the Indianapolis

Colts and now works in the TV and radio industries, and that's Rocky Boyman. Rocky currently

works as an ESPN college football color analyst and is the host of the Eddie

and Rocky show on 3 to 6 p.m. 700 WLW in Cincinnati. Today on the show, Rocky and I get into

his journey in football, his transition out of the NFL, and what he's currently up to. Rocky was

also a team captain his senior year at Notre Dame,

and today he brings great perspective on leadership, working for what you want in life and not

making excuses, and he has some incredible takes on the current state of America and sports at this

time. A review that we've recently got on the podcast is from the 4-8.

Eric is one of the most authentic people you could come across. Listen closely as he brings

powerful nuggets that anyone can apply to daily life to make an impact or positive change.

I'm fortunate and grateful to know him. Thank you for those encouraging words.

And thank you for all that have left reviews.
