We're catching up with "John John" - or Big John - Atkins. Like a lot of us, John is a football player by way of basketball, not really finding his love for football until later in his youth, but his nasty intangibles always made him a stand-out. We talk about his journey from being a 4 star recruit to taking a quick detour and how prep school helped him get ahead, to playing for the National Championship Contending UGA team on his way to the NFL.
Post-Covid, he's a professional football player for the Tampa Bay Bandits, and we break down his great success and his advice for the next generation.
