Buffalo Bills Head Coach Sean McDermott on What Wrestling Taught Him | Ep. 63 May 21, 2020

Show notes

Sometimes, instead of an NCAA or World Championship, the accolade of only being taken down once in two years leads to a head coaching position in the NFL. Not only is this the case for Buffalo Bills Head Coach Sean McDermott, but he still gets mad over giving up that one takedown in his journey to 2 straight undefeated National Prep Championship seasons! It was great chatting with the Bills Head Coach and talking wrestling, faith, and of course, a little football. #BillsMafia!
