We’ve still got football fever after an historic SuperBowl featuring two Black quarterbacks! In today’s episode I’m joined by UNC Tar Heels Inside Linebacker, Cedric Gray, along with his NIL agent, Pet Sumner, who has a story that embodies the conversations we have on this show–a turning point; a life event that changes everything.

We’re talking about navigating the change from recreational athlete, to collegiate sports, to pro. The strategy, family conversations, and anxiety-producing scenarios that we aren’t typically privy to. What’s it like transitioning from amateur to pro sports? And what in the world is “NIL”!?!

You can find and follow Cedric on Instagram @33.ced and you can find Pet and Sumner Sports at pet_sumner22 and @sumner_sports. And get your Cedric Gray merch at: carolinabarnstorming.com
