Are certain players influenced by fantasy football ON THE FIELD? How do black market drugs, debt and gambling influence players decision-making on the field? In other words are certain players "owned" by forces outside the game and if so how does that go over in the locker room?What up coli Brehs, I just started a sports/music/entertainment podcast and I'm starting it off by interviewing my cousin and former NFL player/Virginia Tech stalwart/Army HS All American, Jonathan Lewis. He was a 6th rd pick by the Cardinals in 2006 (same draft class with Matt Leinart) and was a key player on those Bud Foster Virginia Tech defenses of the mid 2000s with DeAngelo Hall, Jimmy Williams, James Anderson, Darryl Tapp etc
He wasn't a star or even rotation guy in the NFL, and his career was cut short due to injuries. He only saw action in a few regular season games, but he's had some unique experiences. I'm gone get him on my podcast later tonight and ask him about his time in the league, toughest guys he's faced, the Geno/IK incident.
Throw a few questions in the thread and I'll be sure to ask him when I broadcast.

ask him how many cats wanted to knock out Deangelo Hall? Ask him how frustrating Beamer ball was when it came to playing great defense but the offense being so trash all the time.
craziest locker room stories, college and pro. and just how hard is it to play in the NFL. what he thinks of the safety "issues" and how players really feel about them oh yea and these too does he laugh at the average joe when they give their opinion of the game, what a team needs to do etc and did he notice coaches/players letting the media get into their head and change the way they do certain things or is all of that usually blocked out.
I know one DeAngelo Hall story in particular he told me a while back, don't eem know if he'll rehash that one. It was classic tho![]()
