To start, these two long time best friends take you into how they met and where they are today. Then, it’s an honor and a privilege to have All Pro Los Angeles Rams Running Back Todd Gurley join the conversation & unwind over a bottle of red wine to discuss: Getting into the wine game, Todd growing up in Baltimore before moving to North Carolina, growing up playing football but pursuing basketball as a freshman in High School instead, playing Quarterback & DB before moving to Running Back, football shutting down the town, wanting to play in the SEC, joining the University of Georgia behind two Number 1 Running Backs, the other colleges that he passed on and why (plus where he really wanted but was never offered), breaking out against the University of Alabama & taking football more seriously, committing to a college as a football player vs being a basketball player, falling in love with Track & Field, growing up in a basketball state and loving Duke & Carmelo Antony, being suspended for autograph violations at Georgia, ending his college career on injury & what was going through his mind when that happened, not working out at The Combine (plus the inside scoop of how teams interrogated him), where he thought he was going to be drafted, being drafted 10th overall by the St. Louis Rams even though they had a deep Running Back Core & not meeting with them, Loving St. Louis, the team moving to Los Angeles after his Rookie Season, Rams fandom growing in LA, making The Super Bowl, the effect of losing as a NFL Player, the genius of Coach Sean McVay, rooting for other Running Backs around the league and elevating his game, becoming Offensive Player of the Year & getting a lucrative contract extension, players putting their lives on the line, NFL players rooting for each other to get big pay days & timing, branding as NFL players, taking care of rookies & his offensive linemen, becoming an investor in new businesses because of the shelf life of a NFL Player & a whole lot more.
