Summary

On the latest NFL Players: Second Acts podcast, Super Bowl champion TJ Ward joins Peanut and Roman. TJ shares stories of what it was like when his Denver Broncos beat Peanut and Roman’s Panthers in Super Bowl 50, and how special it was to win it in his hometown. TJ’s winning pedigree started in high school, and he talks about playing at De La Salle High School in California during the school’s record 151-game winning streak. TJ talks about how overcoming the odds to have an All-Pro NFL career is what drove him to become a sports agent to give back to young players. And, who had the better secondary: Seattle’s “Legion of Boom” or Denver’s “No Fly Zone?” TJ settles the debate. And he also shares with the guys the work he does through his Ward Boy Project.

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