Jared shares stories of Thomas Davis’ spirited pregame prayers, the Terrell Suggs plane ride, and the Sean Payton phone call that made Jared want to punch Sean in the face. He also makes the case why his Hall of Fame induction is past due, and why he hopes the 5th year is the charm. In a rare moment, Jared also shares the inside story of why he wore number 69. He and Cam also debate the differences between pass rushers vs. true defensive ends.
