    Chris Harris, Jr. on his NFL retirement, Champ Bailey mentorship, reclaiming land in Tulsa

    On the latest NFL Players: Second Acts podcast, Peanut and Roman are joined by Super Bowl champion cornerback Chris Harris, Jr. During an improbable 12-year NFL career after going undrafted in 2011, Chris not only won a title, but he turned himself into an All-Pro, and was a vaunted member of the Denver Broncos “No Fly Zone” secondary that’s still considered one of the best defensive back groups in NFL history. After not playing in 2023, despite staying in shape in case a team called, Chris talks to the guys about why he is now officially retiring from the NFL. The three guys also take us behind the scenes of the drama that unfolded in Super Bowl 50, and Chris explains why he stands by his post-game comments about Cam Newton that sparked a controversy that’s still talked about today.

Excellent Listen

The thing I respect the most about Nate is his prep. He is the most prepared host and announcer in the game. He does his homework and it shows through thoughtful and insightful questions that relax the guest and dig deep to the heart of the subject. Highly recommend this podcast if only for, as Nate puts it, food for thought. Keep up the great work!
