Ryan shares his unexpected journey from multi-sport athlete to professional kicker — including the injury that nearly derailed his draft prospects and how he pushed through to reach the highest level of the game. He and the guys talk about what it was like playing alongside Tom Brady, the lessons in teamwork and professionalism that stuck with him long after the final whistle, and how that mindset carries over into life after football. These days, Ryan is channeling that same competitive drive into golf, competing on a professional athlete tour, and getting back to his roots with hunting and the brotherhood that comes with it. A great conversation about life, competition, and what comes next.Episode links: Free up your time—let Auto Hauler Exchange handle your vehicle logistics: ⁠https://www.autohaulerexchange.com/⁠ \n"},"annotations":[{"startTime":460.1,"endTime":462.6,"type":"term","title":"Titans","url":"/glossary/titans","quote":"...his size is when he did go to the Titans...","canonicalId":"term:titans","priority":0.5,"confidence":0.9,"source":"hybrid-fuzzy+gpt-5.4-nano","data":{"explanation":"“Titans” refers to the Tennessee Titans, an NFL team.
