This week John presents a special NFL Draft Edition featuring a duo of current and former NFL players here to break down their NFL experiences and predictions for the 2023 draft. To kick things off, John welcomes New York Giants linebacker Bobby Okereke to discuss his rise from Stanford to the NFL. Bobby and John discuss a number of key insider facts about NFL contract provisions and the quest for the all important second contract that is key for all players looking to secure their long-term financial futures.
Bobby Okereke began his playing career at Foothill High School in Santa Ana, California.
He would commit to Stanford University for his collegiate career and redshirt his freshman year before seeing ample playing time throughout his career. Bobby finished his career at Stanford with 240 tackles with 19 tackles for a loss and 10.5 sacks. After his Stanford career Bobby was drafted by the Indianapolis Colts in the third round with the 89th overall pick of the 2019 NFL Draft. After three years with the Colts Bobby agreed to a four year contract with the New York Giants in March 2023.
In the second half of the show John welcomes former Green Bay Packers fullback and Morgan Stanley Financial Advisor Danny Vitale for an insider look at the mechanics of NFL contracts and wealth management for professional athletes. Danny played for Northwestern University beginning his freshman season in 2012. He was named to the Academic All-Big Ten three times, during his sophomore, junior, and senior seasons.
While at Northwestern, Vitale majored in Economics with minors in Business Institutions and Integrated Marketing Communications. After a successful stint with the Green Bay Packers, Danny has parlayed his professional sports experience with that Northwestern degree to become a wealth management advisor with Morgan Stanley. John and Danny break down some of the basic principles of money management for athletes while discussing how an experienced wealth manager's expertise can allow athletes to focus on their performance while extracting the maximum amount of wealth during their career. To wrap things up, Danny shares his warnings for young athletes coming into money for the first time before concluding with his 2023 draft predictions.
