Summary
On the latest NFL Players: Second Acts podcast, Hall of Famers Lawrence Taylor and Jerome Bettis join Peanut and Roman. LT reflects on the impact of the Lawrence Taylor Foundation and how it’s changing lives. He also shares what position he’d play if he were on offense and gives his take on today’s new-age tight ends. Plus, he breaks down his signature technique for stripping the football.
Jerome Bettis weighs in on the Eagles benching Saquon Barkley in the final game of the regular season, costing him a shot at Eric Dickerson's rushing record. He also shares his perspective on the NFL potentially expanding to 18 games and why he doesn’t believe it would diminish the value of records. Then, he takes us back to Super Bowl XL, reflecting on what it meant to win a championship in his final NFL game and why he was so confident in his decision to walk away from the game on top.
NFL Players: Second Acts is a production of the NFL in partnership with iHeart Media.*
