Merriman then dives into his journey from a tough upbringing to becoming one of the most feared pass rushers in the league. He shares stories from his days with the San Diego Chargers, including his signature "Lights Out" sack dance, iconic clashes with NFL legends, Jason Taylor, Lorenzo Neal and Phillip Rivers to name a few. As well as what it took to play at an elite level from a mental perspective.
