Summary
On this episode of the NFL Players: Second Acts podcast, former All-Pro receiver TJ Houshmandzadeh joins Peanut and Roman for a spirited conversation. TJ explains why the talented Cincinnati Bengals teams he played with were known more for their disfunction than winning. Despite tough years early on, TJ talks about why he felt mixed emotions when he made his first Pro Bowl, and why he wished he would’ve played for bad teams toward the end of his career. TJ says he never dreamed of making to the NFL, and he talks about his journey making it to the league despite being a high school dropout. TJ still stays connected to the game, and he shares how he and Snoop Dogg teamed up to create their own flag football league.
The NFL Players: Second Acts podcast is a production of the NFL in partnership with iHeart Radio.
