We welcome Will Matthews to the podcast. Before playing professionally in the NFL for the Detroit Lions, he played for the Texas Longhorns between 2001-2004. We speak with Will about his transition from college football to the highest professional level and his personal story of becoming a pro player even though he went undrafted at first. Will also shares his thoughts about the challenges after ending a NFL career and building a "normal" life away from the spotlight. He tells us how he built up his second career away from football and how it felt at the beginning to not be in the spotlight anymore. Last, but not least, we talk with Will about how football is becoming a lucrative business for college students earlier and earlier in their career and which educational elements are missing to ensure the long term success of athletes.
