Vikings DT Levi Drake Rodriguez; Unwavering Commitment Sep 04, 2025

Show notes

This past week we had the chance to host Minnesota Vikings defensive lineman, Levi Drake Rodriguez at our studio to hang out for a while and talk about a bunch of different topics. Levi is an extremely passionate and focused individual that brings the energy in all things he does. We talk about some incredible stories from his time in college, including climbing up the ranks as an unranked player who didn’t receive a lot of early attention. He shares what that journey was like and how he has been able to stay hungry. He relates his athletic career to his love for the outdoors and all types of hunting and we hear about how hunting becomes a mental reset for Levi. Through it all, his unwavering faith in Jesus guides his every move. Thanks so much for listening and be sure to subscribe and review!
