On this episode, you'll hear from offensive lineman Zion Johnson, offensive lineman Elton Jenkins, and linebacker Quincy Williams.

0:35.6

Up first, offensive lineman Zion Johnson, who's missed just

0:38.7

two games in his entire NFL career. Hey, Zion, I just want to ask you first off, what was sort of

0:45.0

the sales pitch they made, Andrew and others made to you? Did they give you sort of an idea of what

0:51.2

your role was going to be here in terms of left guard, right guard, any of that

0:55.9
