Grey Zabel: Seahawk’s Rookie Talks Farm Values, NFL Draft Night, White House May 14, 2025

Show notes

Grey Zabel, the 18th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft and newest member of the Seattle Seahawks, joins the Like A Farmer Podcast for a wide-ranging, down-to-earth conversation about how his upbringing on the farm still drives him on and off the field. The North Dakota State standout opens up about the moment he got the draft call, why staying true to his roots meant more than chasing NIL dollars, and how close he came to a future in baseball as a left-handed flamethrower. We dig into what it was like walking into the Seahawks facility for the first time, and how he ended up with jersey #76 (yes, there's a Steve Hutchinson story). Grey also shares a hilarious story involving a White House visit and Donald Trump, his first big NFL purchase, and what fans can expect from the 2025 Seattle Seahawks.

Tate Ratledge Talks Georgia Bulldogs, SEC, NFL, and Mullets Apr 23, 2025

Show notes

We sit down with Georgia Bulldogs’ standout offensive lineman Tate Ratledge—a man known just as much for his power in the trenches as for his legendary mullet. Tate opens up about playing under Coach Kirby Smart, going toe-to-toe in the SEC, and preparing for the NFL Draft with that same relentless, grind-it-out mentality that defines his game. We get into the good stuff: two National Championships, bouncing back from injury, and what separates Stetson Bennett from Carson Beck in the huddle. It’s a raw, real talk about grit, growth, and getting after it—on and off the field.
