Summary

This week on the Off the Edge with Cam Jordan podcast, Cam chops it up with former NFL wide receiver turned Emmy-winning broadcaster Nate Burleson. Nate shares how his high school days as a cornerback opened the door to his college career as a receiver, his wild stories from freezing games in Green Bay and Philly (yes, cayenne pepper was involved), and how he transitioned from the locker room to CBS Mornings and Nickelodeon’s SlimeTime.

Cam and Nate also dive into how the Saints can surprise teams this season, Spencer Rattler’s potential, and what it takes to stay locked in through cold-weather matchups. Plus, Nate opens up about finding his voice in broadcasting, the suits that gave him TV swag, and he and Cam play a game of “onside or offside.” 

The Off the Edge with Cam Jordan podcast is a production of the NFL in partnership with iHeart Media.
