Show notes

On the lates NFL Players: Second Acts podcast, Super Bowl champion Bryant McKinnie joins Peanut Tillman and Roman Harper. McKinnie shares how he didn’t even start playing football until high school, his unlikely journey through junior college to the University of Miami, and why he believes the 2001 Hurricanes are the greatest college team of all time. He reflects on being a top 10 Heisman finalist, battling elite pass rushers like Dwight Freeney, and the elation of winning Super Bowl XLVII with the Ravens. Beyond football, Bryant opens up about his thriving second act — from serving as COO of a language translation company, to his three Grammy nominations, producing, and performing on America’s Got Talent. He also discusses his work in mental health advocacy, helping former players transition, and creating spaces for honest conversations through his Cocktails & Conversations events. From tennis lessons with Venus Williams to bringing the “B-Mac experience” wherever he goes, this episode is full of laughs, insight, and inspiration from one of the NFL’s most unique personalities. The NFL Players: Second Acts podcast is a production of the NFL in partnership with iHeart Media. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
