Thomas was an amazing guest! He was lots of fun and he had a great personality. We started off talking about the recruitment process and why he chose App State. We talked about the importance of Twitter and Hudl for high school athletes. Later on, I started to mention more about their season and what made this App State team special. Easily one of my favorite guests I've had on the podcast that's for sure. 

Brad Johnson was an awesome guest. Brad Johnson played in the NFL for 15 seasons with four different organizations(Minnesota Vikings, Washington Redskins, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and Dallas Cowboys.) Here's a rundown about Brad; he was a great athlete ever since high school, as he won athlete of the year in the state of North Carolina. He went on to Florida State to play basketball and football. He eventually was told that he would have to choose one or the other and he obviously chose football. He didn't put up the best stats in college which led to Brad being a lower draft pick. Brad also didn't have a single pass attempt in his first two seasons in the NFL, but Brad found a way. Brad ended up having a great career full of accolades and accomplishments. He won the Super Bowl in the 2002-2003 NFL season. Brad had many great coaches along the way and he played with a lot of great teammates. To wrap up the show we talked about his sons who are both playing football at Texas A&M. Brad also has a TikTok account called @bigbadbrad14. The money he makes through the account goes straight to a charity of his! 

Chris was easily one of my favorite guests! Chris was very personable and easy to talk to. We started off by talking about the recruitment process and how Chris got recognized by D1 Coaches. Chris is a tight end at NC State but he hasn't always been a tight end. He had to change his position from wide receiver to tight end. To most players, this would be a hard change, but Chris was able to make the change and accumulate 4 touchdowns this past year. Chris was a part of a very interesting team because NC State actually flew all the way to California to play in their bowl game. NC State prepared all week and missed Christmas with their families to play in this bowl game. NC State was told on gameday after they already missed Christmas with their families and prepared all week for UCLA that their bowl game had to be canceled due to Covid. Ah Covid, ever heard of her?
