In a world of Rusty Smith, Alfred Morris, Trey Hendrickson, Motor Singletary & other prominent pro football FAU alums, there exists a man named Lucky Whitehead. He only played two years at FAU, one of them being wildly productive, but what he did in his unlikely pro football career puts him in the upper echelon of former FAU players who achieved greatness at the next level. The speedster from Virginia, who made history at FAU, became a Dallas Cowboys fan favorite before he went to Canada and won a Grey Cup while becoming one of the nation's most popular sports figures. Whitehead reflects on his FAU career, details the summer work that led to his breakout final season in Boca, tells the story of how he earned his shot from the Cowboys (including a call from Jerry Jones), explains why Canada re-ignited his love of football and describes what it was like to find a spot at the top of the CFL and become an icon, and champion, north of the border. Lucky also reveals the secret behind how he got an edge in Dallas and what served him well when it came to getting fans to have his back and support him. Finally, Lucky lets listeners in on what he's doing now (FARMING??!!!) and why he feels such an urge to get back to Boca.
