Summary

In Episode #2 of the NFL Players Second Acts podcast, NFL Executive Vice President of Football Operations Troy Vincent joins Peanut and Roman for a candid conversation about his journey from 15-year NFL veteran, to one of the top executives in the league office. Troy expounds on when he knew it was time for him to retire (2:17), and how he planned for his post-football life in high school (8:24). Troy also discusses why, during his playing days, he never defined himself as an NFL player (12:33). As a man of faith, Troy explains why he operates on the principle of being a servant leader (18:07). He also talks about whether he has his eyes on one day being NFL Commissioner (20:08). The guys get into nitty-gritty talk of NFL rules, with Troy dishing on how he manages criticism of the league’s on-field rules (23:19) and why he believes the rulebook should be trimmed (23:41). Of course, the talked roughing the passer (26:52) as a jump off to why Troy says the NFL game today is different, safer, and better. And Troy gushes over what he calls the future of the game: flag football (37:23).
