Hall of Fame DE Jared Allen | NFL Players: Second Acts Podcast Oct 07, 2026

Show notes

On the latest NFL Players: Second Acts podcast, Jared Allen brings pure comedy in this conversation with hosts Peanut Tillman and Roman Harper. He rolls through his Hall of Fame journey, the mullet on his bust, the Black Santa story, and why life went right back to normal after Canton. He breaks down his wild path to Idaho State, the yearbook scandal, playing with a chip on his shoulder, and his welcome‑to‑the‑NFL moments in Kansas City.

Jared also dives into his second acts — chasing Olympic dreams in curling, and building his Full Ryde bourbon brand — all before revealing his personal Mount Rushmore. It’s vintage Jared Allen: loud, honest, hilarious, and impossible not to enjoy.

The NFL Players: Second Acts podcast is a production of the NFL in partnership with iHeart Media.

Show notes

On the latest NFL Players: Second Acts podcast, Hall of Famer Rod Woodson joins Peanut Tillman and Roman Harper for a conversation packed with football history, personal evolution, and the mindset that made him one of the greatest defensive backs ever. Woodson reflects on his journey from safety to corner, the coaches who shaped him, and the humility he carries even as a member of the NFL’s All‑Time 100 team and 75th Anniversary team.

He shares stories from Pittsburgh and Baltimore — playing for Chuck Noll and Bill Cowher, learning to think about life after football, and joining the legendary Ravens defense. Woodson also opens up about his track career, his regret about not running in the Olympic trials, and how broadcasting lets him give fans a true backend perspective.

The guys revisit memorable moments, including Woodson’s first game in Baltimore, Roman’s memory of Rod giving him his flowers, and Rod’s breakdown of the Peanut Punch. It’s a sharp, reflective look at longevity, versatility, and the second acts that follow a Hall of Fame career.

NFLPA Executive Director JC Tretter | NFL Players: Second Acts Podcast Sep 16, 2026

Show notes

On the latest NFL Players: Second Acts podcast, Peanut Tillman and Roman Harper sit down with JC Tretter for a wide‑ranging conversation about football, leadership, and the second act that led him to become Executive Director of the NFLPA. Tretter reflects on his unlikely path — getting recruited to Cornell off basketball tape, breaking his rookie year, earning his welcome‑to‑the‑league moments blocking Julius Peppers and Clay Matthews, and finding his footing in Green Bay before experiencing the extremes of going from Packers playoff runs to Cleveland’s 0–16 season.

He shares stories from his time in both cities, and retiring on his own terms after becoming NFLPA president in his seventh season. Tretter breaks down why players need to think about life after football early, how he found his passion for labor relations in college, and how he approaches leading the union today — from player trust to mental health, grass vs. turf, team report cards, and the conversations around a 17th game.

A smart, grounded look at leadership, advocacy, and life after football.
