Summary

On the latest NFL Players: Second Acts podcast, former All-Pro linebacker Thomas Davis joins Peanut and Roman for a conversation filled with jokes and stories between these former Carolina Panthers teammates. Thomas shares how he went on to have a decorated NFL career as a linebacker even though that was not his drafted position. He and Peanut also share how they both paid their dues as special teams’ stars early in their careers. Thomas also reflects on how he overcame three torn ACL injuries to have a 16-year career. Later the guys give Thomas his flowers for not only helping them reach Super Bowl 50, but for playing in the game despite having a plate inserted into his broke arm just days prior. Thomas opens up about his transition into the media space and the business world as a restaurateur. And we find out who makes Thomas’s personal Mount Rushmore.

The NFL Players: Second Acts podcast is a production of the NFL in partnership with iHeart Radio.
