About this episode

Troy Vincent has a hand in much of what makes the NFL tick and, with the league releasing its schedule and working to determine how to return to play in the fall, he joins Brian and Patrick with insight into the work being done to be ready when the time comes to kick off the 2020 season. Troy explains his role as the NFL's Executive Vice President of Football Operations, the path he followed to reach the league office and why he's made growing the game at a grassroots level a priority. He also takes an enjoyable stroll down memory lane to his days as a player at Wisconsin in the final seasons of the Don Morton era and the early stages of the program's renaissance under Barry Alvarez.
