Wilton sits down with Shay Hodge, former Ole Miss and retired NFL wide receiver. Hodge is currently a performance trainer for D1 Jackson.
Hodge earned 2009-2010 1st Team ALL-SEC recognition, set a career receiving record, became the 1st 1,000-yard receiver in Ole Miss history, led the SEC in all major receiver categories in 2009 and earned honorable mention All-American honors.
However, Hodge, who defines himself as a warrior like the greats of Allen Iverson and Kobe Bryant, fought to keep his career on the gridiron. But, injuries plagued him professionally.
Instead of leaving the game, in his words, God had a plan for him – to train young athletes just like him to excel in college and professionally.
Sit back and get ready to listen as he discusses the transition of playing high school football in small town Morton, Mississippi to playing under the bright lights of Vaught-Hemingway Stadium, his NFL experience, when his injuries began to affect his pro career and when he knew his purpose of training young athletes and more.
