Скачать или смотреть Former NFL Cornerback Played the Game, Now He’s Changing It

Domonique Foxworth has lived the full spectrum of the athlete’s journey—from reaching the NFL as a cornerback for the Broncos, Falcons, and Ravens, to leading the NFL Players Association, to becoming one of the most influential voices in sports media today. After earning his MBA at Harvard Business School, he transitioned seamlessly into broadcasting and writing, now hosting The Domonique Foxworth Show and appearing regularly across ESPN platforms.

In this conversation with hosts Andrew Rizza and Dr. Cameron Roth, Domonique opens up about his path to the NFL, the grind of recovery and training, and the relationships that shape player performance and safety. He shares candid insights into the realities of youth sports injuries, organizational differences between leagues, and what makes a truly great team. Domonique also reflects on his time advocating for players in collective bargaining, the complexities of retirement, and the lessons he’s carried into his media career.

From facing Peyton Manning and Tom Brady, to defining what it means to be a good organization, to breaking down today’s refereeing and rising talents like Drake Maye, Domonique brings his sharp perspective, humor, and honesty. This episode is as much about the human side of the game as it is about the highlights on the field.
