Bruce Smith is known and respected as the NFL’s all-time career leader in quarterback sacks, with 11 Pro-Bowl appearances and 4 consecutive Super Bowls with the Buffalo Bills under his belt. In this episode, Marcellus Wiley dives deep into who Bruce Smith, the man, is. As a son, brother, father, husband, friend, and mentor, there’s more to him than just a football player. 

They talk about his parents' sacrifices, the very moment in college that changed his entire football career and romantic trajectory. Bruce Smith has always stood up for what he believes, from his fight against targeted hate during his first year in the NFL to now standing as an activist and a voice for the people of that same community of Buffalo, New York. There’s also lots of fun had in this episode as Marcellus, who was tagged “The New Bruce Smith” asks Bruce how he felt about that, and we play a round of “Finish The Sentence” with the NFL legend.
