Description
On the NFL Players: Second Acts podcast, former All-Pro Charles “Peanut” Tillman and former Pro Bowler Roman Harper break bread with NFL legends about how they’ve taken the passion, drive and dedication that made them stars on the gridiron…and use it to achieve success in their post-playing careers. But it’s not just about the destination! Roman and “Peanut” aim to engage in some real talk with legends about their transitions from the game to finding their passion pursuits in other areas of life. And they manage to have some fun along the way.
