Hosts Brad Fowler and Alex Higdon are excited to be joined by Jamie Winborn, retired 10-year NFL linebacker, former 2nd-round pick by the San Francisco 49ers, and one of Vanderbilt’s most decorated defenders. Jamie was named an SEC Legend in 2024, and his college accolades include Freshman All-American (1998), First-Team All-SEC (1999), and PFWA All-Rookie Team (2001) in the NFL.
We kick things off with Jamie’s reaction to being honored as an SEC Legend, and what the experience meant to him personally.
We dive into his NFL Draft story, his unforgettable "Welcome to the NFL" moment, and what it was like going up against some of the game’s biggest names. Jamie shares the hardest hitters, biggest trash talkers, and which players made him say, "this guy is a problem."
We also get his take on how the linebacker position has evolved, which current NFL stars he loves to watch, and what advice he’d give to young linebackers today. Jamie weighs in on NIL’s impact on college football, makes a bold prediction for the 49ers' 2025 season, and answers if he’d ever consider a GM role at Vanderbilt.
Don’t miss this incredible conversation with one of the SEC’s all-time greats and an NFL veteran who brings wisdom, stories, and honest insight from both levels of the game.
