Nate Boyer, Tony Collins, Ed White, Leigh Steinberg, Jeff Reed, Dominic Rhodes

This week our guests on Thursday Night Tailgate are: Nate Boyer, Ed White, Leigh Steinberg, Jeff Reed and Dominic Rhodes.

 

Nate Boyer - Former Army Green Beret turned Long Snapper at the University of Texas and Seattle Seahawks. He'll be playing this year in the inaugural season of Major League Football trying to get another shot in the NFL. We'll talk to Nate about his tours of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan plus why he decided to go back to school and walk on to the University of Texas football team plus what it was like leading the team onto the field carrying the American Flag.

 

Leigh Steinberg – Leigh represents one of the Top 3 QBs in this year's draft, Paxton Lynch. We'll get Leigh's thoughts on where Paxton will go in the draft, plus what it takes to sign today's college stars vs. his first client Steve Bartkowski and we'll look back 20 years to the making of the move Jerry McGuire which is based on Leigh's life.

 

Tony Collins – We'll hear Tony's memories of playing in Super Bowl 20 against perhaps the greatest defense of all-time, the '85 Bears. We'll also get his thoughts on DeMarco Murray being traded to Titans and how the Patriots are able to reshuffle their roster every year and still be one of the top teams in the league.

 

Ed White – Ed is a 4 time Pro Bowler and 1 of only 10 players to play on all 4 Vikings Super Bowl teams in the '70's. He blocked for 2 Hall of Fame QBs in Fran Tarkenton and Dan Fouts. Two of his line mates are in the Pro Football Hall of Fame...why hasn't he gotten that call? We'll get his thoughts...

 

Jeff Reed – Jeff kicked in the league for 10 years. When the Steelers were cycling through Kickers earlier this season he wanted to make a comeback but Steelers' GM Kevin Colbert wouldn't return his calls. At the Pro Football Hall of Fame induction ceremonies fans were trying to goad him into a fight before security ushered him out. We'll hear Jeff's side of the story.

Dominic Rhodes - Former Colts RB who helped them win Super Bowl 41, rushing for 113 yards and a TD that gave them the lead that they wouldn't relinquish. Hear him also talking about his missteps off the field, take accountability for them and the message he relays to kids now.
