Former Kansas City Chiefs Quarterback, Trent Green joins us for Episode 33 of The PRP!
We were limited to about an hour with Trent so we tried to pack in as much as we possibly could. Trent was drafted in the 8th Round in 1993 Draft to the San Diego Chargers and cut after one year. Shortly after that, he joined the Canadian Football League with the BC Lions in 1994 and was later cut again after one year. He gets another shot in the NFL with the Washington Redskins (now known as the "Commanders") and outside of one pass thrown in 1997, he would not see NFL action until 1998. It was 1999 when he signs with the St. Louis Rams to be the starter, but suffered a gruesome season-ending knee injury in a preseason game on a hit by Rodney Harrison of the Chargers. Unheralded backup Kurt Warner took over for Green, and led the Rams to a 13–3 season, culminating in a dramatic 23–16 victory over the Tennessee Titans in Super Bowl XXXIV. Trent would land in Kansas City for the 2001 season and would spend a total of 6 season with the Chiefs. In 2006, he suffers a serious concussion in the 3rd Quarter of the first game of the year against the Cincinnati Bengals and would remain out until mid November. It was the next year in 2007, Trent played for the Miami Dolphins where in early October he suffered another serious concussion. In this episode we discuss the "Trials & Triumphs" during those 15 years in the NFL. He shares a lot of insight about the NFL as a business and his experience to overcome obstacles. We learn about his relationships with Hall of Famers, Dick Vermeil and Kurt Warner. And he shares how he got into broadcasting, where he is currently teamed with Kevin Harlan for NFL Games on CBS. There is no doubt that Trent is a person of high-character and it was not only informative, but also very enjoyable to talk to him.
