Hall of Famer Aeneas Williams

The Opening Drive

The Hall of Famer joins us in studio to talk about why he gets so excited this time of the year as football gets started, why he enjoyed training camp as opposed to most player who hate it, his analogy of a farmer, the old-school "marine" coaches that were harder on players, how the league is forced to make changes to gives players so much more rest, the evolution of the rules across the game, why he's in favor of the QBs being treated differently from every other spot on the field, his connection--forever--with Steve Young & 49er fans, how the league helps young players manage their new finances & taking such a big step in life, his top advice for young players as they hit the league, why he focuses so much on being someone who helps the community, why he feels he has that responsibility, why civil discourse is so tricky right now, the topic Nashville leading to the questions around STL's viability and why kindness needs to emanate from a basic will to give instead of just a transactional moment.
