Season 1 Finale - Demario Davis Dec 16, 2020

Show notes

Double D, Double D! The Mississippi MUD LEGEND and Saints All-Pro linebacker — Demario Davis — pops in for the Season 1 finale of Truss Levelz! Demario begins by explaining why becoming a man of faith completely changed his life, directing him away from his high school troubles. He chats about making the switch from wide receiver to defense in high school and how that led him to choosing Arkansas State, surprising even his mother when he said he was leaving his home state. There, the man performed, and also debuted his three-piece-suit-wearin’ self that we now see dazzling on pregame walks! Then talk turns to the league, as Demario explains what it was like to start in New York, gets into his year in Cleveland, and details what led him back to the Jets. DD’s second time in free agency was a little different from the first, and he explains what led him to the Saints and why he had no clue where he signed with until people started blowing up his phone. In New Orleans it’s been nothing but success for DD, as he led the Saints in tackles his first year, got his First All-Pro recognition, and is continuing to ball out in 2020. Demario ain’t here to play! Tune in!

Travis Kelce Dec 09, 2020

Show notes

The first player to have over 1,000 receiving yards in four consecutive seasons, ladies and gentleman: Travis Kelce! So, fun fact … Travis was QB1 in high school. Low-key who gonna give him his shot in the league? Trav talks the guys through his younger football days and what did and did not motivate him to get better at his craft. Then he attempts to explain to Cam what a Bearcat is … even gives his best impression of what they sound like. Yeah, don’t miss that, y’all. Trav wants to know what it was like growing up with dads who were in the league, and then the guys ask Kelce what it’s like playing with his very own brother in the league at the same time. Travis admits his favorite play of his pro career was on his bro bro. We get into Travis’s first impression of Andy Reid, and how Reid kept Travis locked and focused from Day 1 – which Trav admits is exactly what he needed in a coach. Kelce also makes it clear he believes that Big Red is destined to be a Hall of Famer. We learn about Travis the entrepreneur, Travis the community leader and (how could we forget?) Travis the ultimate beer pong champion. We get all the deets on that night Kelce and Mahomes smoked Post Malone in some preconcert beer pong, which led to Post getting their names tatted on him. The ever-entertaining Travis Kelce joins the guys this week on Truss Levelz. Tune IN.

Mike Evans Nov 18, 2020

Show notes

The epitome of consistency, a College Station legend and Harry Potter’s biggest fan, Mike Evans drops by to chat with the fellas on Truss Levelz. We hear how Mike held up during the offseason. TLDR: Just fine. Then we go back to the beginning and hear about how he was supposed to be hooper until football interfered with that whole plan. You’ll hear who his best opponent in high was and how he chose Texas A&M. Life as an Aggie and the easy decision to go pro. He plays coy about catching passes this offseason with THE GOAT, TB12. But opens up about life and family, and yes, his unabiding love for Harry Potter. #wandlife. Mike reveals what house the Sorting Hat would place him in and how he would fare on the Quidditch pitch. He makes a strong case for why he would not just be a good Seeker, but a Viktor Krum-level Golden Snitch snatcher. (Editor’s note: that’s a stretch. But Mike Evans would definitely give Maximus Brankovitch III a run for his money.) We hear about his experience on a private jet, food picks in Paris and his pregame playlist. Mike is one of the best in the game right now and this episode is one you can’t miss. Listen up. Big Truss. BIG.

Todd Gurley Nov 11, 2020

Show notes

North Carolina's finest, aka TG3, the Georgia Bulldog himself, Todd Gurley, stops in to chat with the guys on this episode of Truss Levelz. Did you know that TG3 started off as a track phenom? Well, he did. Our man has speed speed. You’ll hear about him traveling the world to race. Why he nearly went to Princeton instead of Georgia — a move that could’ve turned him into a podcaster instead of an NFL star. The crazy time at Georgia. His ACL tear and entry to the league. And when he realized he could play his game at the highest level. We should probably mention how he drops hints at what it’s like as a member of Roc Nation. Along with food and travel spots. I mean, what more do you need? TG3, now TG33 for the Atlanta Falcons, is the former Offensive Player of the Year, three-time Pro-Bowler, two-time All Pro First Team selection. Just call him Mr. Accolade. His dreads are pretty fire, too. Turn the volume up. You don’t want to miss out on this one.

Derrick Henry Oct 21, 2020

Show notes

KING HENRY is in the building. The 2019 Ground Player of the Year pops off on this week’s episode of Truss Levelz. First off, D Henry in high school, was absurd. I mean we’re talking domination. This man had over 12,000 rushing yards over four years…. Yeah, that's the national high school record. Then he gets into going to Bama, the crazy backfield they had while he was there, and his junior year — how it felt winning the Heisman, setting the SEC rushing record, and putting the Tide back on top. And speaking of that national championship game, Mark and Derrick set the record straight on the meme that sent the Internet on fire when Derrick made Mark look pretty short…. Then, it’s to the league, what he learned in his first few years and what changed in 2019 for him to become one of the best backs in the NFL. Later on, D Henry talks his favorite kicks, which Titans uniforms are the coldest, and why he and Mark should have statues at Alabama. Simply put, the man is a beast. Tune in.
