It's The Treat. I'm Elvis Mitchell.

And if anyone knows about the way that being a part of a team can help you keep going,

in the worst of times, it's NFL star turned actor Namdi Asmonga.

The treat for him watching a team while being on the NFL's injured player list.

I'm Namdi Asimwa. This is the treat.

I played in the NFL for about 11 years, and I had a pretty devastating leg injury at a point and I remember being in rehab in the off-season trying to get myself back going I was going

through a stage of depression trying to figure out how my my bones will start

working again so one day my physical

therapist comes in and he says, have you ever seen this show called Band of Brothers?

I said, no, what's that?

And he says, well, you know, it's World War II.

It's an HBO miniseries.

It's about 10 episodes.

It follows easy company, this company of, you know, the parachute troops.

And it starts from their training in World War II to the end of World War II.

And he says, it's pretty great. I said, no, let's put it on. And every day for the rest of my

physical therapy during that off season, we watched Band of Brothers.

We are down. We are Brothers. Out or down.

We love us.

We lost out.

Now what company is this?

Easy company.
