Matt Corral finally opens up about everything. The pressure, the pain, and the purpose behind his journey from five-star high school phenom to NFL quarterback to walking away from the New England Patriots with no plan and no peace. In this unfiltered interview, the former Ole Miss star and Carolina Panthers draft pick sits down with Denny Thompson and Pastor Joby Martin to talk through the parts of his story he’s never told publicly: the headlines that followed him since high school, the injuries that derailed his draft stock, the media stories that twisted the truth, and the silent mental-health battle that nearly ended everything.

Matt shares how UFC legend Vitor Belfort stepped in at just the right moment, training him physically while discipling him spiritually and how that encounter introduced him to real faith, grace, and the freedom that changed his entire life. He walks through the moment he saw Bill Belichick on his way out of the Patriots facility, what it felt like to hit rock bottom, how therapy and Scripture started to rebuild him from the inside out, and why he now sees his career as a tool in God’s hands instead of an identity.

Pastor Joby breaks down how fear and control cripple men, how faith produces action, and how grace transforms even the toughest stories. This conversation is raw, redemptive, and full of moments that will leave you reflecting on your own purpose. If you’ve ever battled anxiety, shame, or identity tied to performance, this one will hit home.
