Steve Largent talk his unlikely Hall of Fame path, stint as U.S. Congressman, Mike Harden payback
About this episode
<p>Peanut Tillman and Roman Harper sit down with Hall of Famer Steve Largent for a wide-ranging conversation that spans his legendary NFL career, his second act in Congress, and the values that have guided him through it all. Largent reflects on his journey from getting cut by the Oilers to becoming the face of the Seattle Seahawks, sharing stories of his most satisfying season, his 100th touchdown, and even his payback hit on Mike Harden. He opens up about life after football—why he never struggled with retirement, how he became a licensed pilot, and his time as CEO of a telecommunications company. Largent also dives into his political career as the only Pro Football Hall of Famer to serve in Congress, recalling his “welcome to Congress” moment, the balance of family and public service, and why he’ll never go back. From humility to servant leadership, this episode is packed with wisdom and insight from one of the NFL’s true all-time greats.</p> <p>The NFL Players: Second Acts podcast is a production of the NFL in partnership with iHeart Media. </p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>
