A Legendary NFL Career: Interview with Wide Receiver Roy Green
In this episode, I sit down with NFL legend Roy Green, who played for the Arizona Cardinals and Philadelphia Eagles. We dive deep into his early career from a small college in Arkansas to being drafted into the NFL, his switch from defense to offense, and becoming a Pro Bowl wide receiver. We also discuss his experiences playing against some of the toughest defenses and his time teaming up with my dad, Vai Sikahema, on the Eagles. Roy shares fascinating stories about his career, his relationships with teammates, and his reflections on missed opportunities, including the heartbreaking near-playoff seasons. Join us for an insightful conversation that is as nostalgic as it is inspiring!
