  • Summary

  • On the latest NFL Players: Second Acts podcast, former USC legend and 16-year veteran quarterback Rodney Peete joins Peanut and Roman. Rodney discusses what it was like being runner-up to Barry Sanders in the Heisman Trophy race then becoming his teammate the next season with the Detroit Lions. Rodney carved out a respectable NFL career, but he talks about why he almost passed on the NFL to purse a career in Major league Baseball. Rodney then talks about his struggles coming to terms with the end of his football career, despite having a second act in media lined up after retirement. Rodney later reflects on his initial denial of his son’s autism diagnosis to becoming an avid activist for the cause with his wife Holly Robinson Peete. All this, and more, in a conversation you don’t want to miss.
