This is an I-Heart podcast.

Guaranteed Human.

When the coach Rich Blasci told me, well, Michael, I know you never played special teams, but the only way to get out special team is to make a lot of plays. And he was like, every time I see Rich, you all was like, he took my advice, huh? Because it was like, I went in there, I never, I was like, yo, what is going on on this kickoff team? Like, it's just a lot of people moving.

Like, because, you know, if you're a defensive event and you're a defense you're a pass rush you never really on special teams until you get to the NFL as a rookie and it's like you like you're like what is a punt like you're trying to like you're trying to move your leg backwards like that you're talking to the wrong person he don't know about none of that. It's cool. Yeah, that was cool.

You didn't do special teams?

But I feel you, though.

I got you.

I feel you. I did.

We all good.

I know you didn't do special teams. Yeah. No special teams. I was drafted pretty high, so I skipped that part of my career. Yeah, you did. Congratulations. You kept a lot more brain cells.

Like, it took me long to realize, like, yo, I don't need to be out here.

Like, anything goes out here, like,

like, yo, I don't need to be out here.

Like, anything goes out here.

What up, everybody?

I'm Peanut Tillman, and this is the NFL player's second acts podcast.

And with me, as always, as my trusty co-host, Roman Harper, and I'm so excited

about this next guest. He just got here, and we're just going to get right into it. This guy

is a three-time pro bowler. He is one of the top 50 Seattle Seahawks of all times, and he is an

author, an activist, a designer, Super Bowl champion. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Michael Bennett to the Pops. Thank you, guys. All right, so what does it feel? You just kind of brought it up, your boy Bobby Wagner winning the man of the year. The man of the year, Walter Payton, man of the year. Well, I feel like, I don't know, I feel like Bobby deserves it. I think, you know, I think everybody on our team during that time, he got an opportunity to be around a lot of older guys who were very committed to the community. And I think he's taking that and tripled that and turned it into something else and continue into like just give wherever he goes. Wherever he's on, he's made an impact, whether it was through Seattle, whether it was in, I'm in the D.C. area or L.A. where, you know, where he's connected to. So I'm really proud of him. You know, you see a lot of young guys. You never know what they really going to turn into. I think a lot of times people are judging a player of just of how they play. And I think if people all remember you for the way you play on the field, you kind of failed

yourself a little bit.

So to see Bobby get that award, you know, recognize his mother.
