On the latest NFL Players: Second Acts podcast, former OL turned Falcons Director of Player Development, Fernando Velasco joins Peanut and Roman. Fernando takes us into how he navigates the relationship between rookie QB Michael Penix and veteran QB Kirk Cousins, and how it plays into his role in player engagement with the Falcons. He also gets personal about how he overcame the anger over his father’s violent drug-dealing past that led Fernando to be born to a drug addicted mother. Plus, the guys also discuss the stigma of black men and therapy.

The NFL Players: Second Acts podcast is a production of the NFL in partnership with iHeart Media.
