Episode notes

Andrew is joined by Detroit Lions fullback Jason Cabinda. Jason is a nominee for the NFL’s 2021 Walter Payton Man of the Year Award. Considered the NFL’s most prestigious honor, the award recognizes NFL players for outstanding community service as well as excellence on the field. The winner will be announced a couple of days before this year’s Super Bowl. Jason has hosted back-to-school book drives, virtual reading comprehension sessions with students throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, and he spends hours mentoring kids. On the field, Jason is one of a few NFL players to make the transition from defense to offense—a rare feat at the sport’s highest level. You'll hear what inspires Jason to work as hard off the field as he does on it.
