Notre Dame legend Manti Te'o | NFL Players: Second Acts Podcast

O tym odcinku

<p>On the latest NFL Players: Second Acts, Peanut and Roman sit down with Manti Te&rsquo;o for a raw, reflective, and fun conversation about football, faith, redemption, and the second act he&rsquo;s building with purpose. Manti shares his unlikely story of how a kid from Hawaii &mdash; a lifelong USC fan &mdash; ended up choosing Notre Dame at the last possible moment, and how his Polynesian roots and faith shaped the man he&rsquo;s become. He takes us through his NFL &ldquo;welcome to the league&rdquo; moment, the vets who taught him the cerebral side of the game, and why he calls his time with the New Orleans Saints &ldquo;JAY‑Z years. Manti then dives into his second act: broadcasting. He credits Kyle Brandt for sharpening his voice, recalls his &ldquo;welcome to broadcasting&rdquo; moment covering an Eagles game, and breaks down how he learned to tell stories instead of stats. The conversation closes with Manti&rsquo;s reflections on retirement, smart investments, the documentary that reshaped public perception, the Polynesian Hall of Fame, and his personal Mount Rushmore. A thoughtful, honest, and uplifting episode &mdash; exactly what <em>Second Acts</em> is all about.</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>
