Pro Football Hall of Famer LaDainian Tomlinson joins Peanut Tillman and Roman Harper to talk football, family, and second acts. LT reflects on his journey from idolizing Walter Payton and learning moves from Barry Sanders, to becoming an NFL MVP and a Hall of Famer. He shares what it’s like coaching high school football in Texas, the lessons he learned from teammates like Junior Seau, and the impact of Marty Schottenheimer on his career—even after the controversial firing following a 14-2 season. LT also opens up about his transition into TV, keeping his competitive edge in broadcasting, and his special bond with Drew Brees. Along the way, Peanut and Roman swap stories about facing LT on the field—including a missed tackle in London—and dive into what made his stiff arm legendary.
