Former NFL GM Rick Smith on Drafting J.J. Watt & Moving on From David Carr | LGND

We are back for Season 2 of Legend Talk! Today, we’re bringing you an incredible perspective from the front office as we sit down with former Houston Texans General Manager and Denver Broncos executive, Rick Smith. Rick gives us a masterclass on how NFL teams truly evaluate talent at the Combine, how he managed the "war room," and the tough decision to move on from quarterback David Carr. He also shares the legendary, behind-the-scenes draft day story of trying to trade up for Patrick Peterson before ultimately standing pat and landing Hall of Famer J.J. Watt! Then, Ken Hamlin shares one of the wildest free-agency stories ever told: suffering a sudden, terrifying seizure right in the middle of a meeting with Saints GM Mickey Loomis, and how Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones swooped in to fly him to Texas. We also tackle the biggest topics in the league today, from CeeDee Lamb's franchise tag leverage to the Raiders' quarterback dilemma. #NFLDraft #HoustonTexans #RickSmith #KenHamlin #DallasCowboys #NFLCombine #LegendTalkPodcast

The Recap EP 15 | Andre Johnson & Shaun Rogers Join Us For the Season 2 Opener | LGND

We are officially back for Season 2 of the LGND Recap Show! Today, we have a legendary table featuring newly minted Hall of Famer Andre Johnson and Pro Bowler Shaun Rogers. We start by shedding light on the unspoken mental health battles NFL players face during injury rehab and the toxic pressure of social media. Andre drops gems on what it takes to stay elite through decades of roster changes , while Shaun breaks down how respect is really earned in the trenches. Things get heated as we discuss the Hall of Fame voting process, whether Bill Belichick is being disrespected, and why the players need a say in who gets a Gold Jacket. We also do a deep dive into the Houston Texans' playoff run, the pressure on young QBs , and have a very real conversation about the failure of the NFL's Rooney Rule and the "good old boys" network keeping Black coaches out of head coaching positions. Finally, we end with a message to the youth about why character matters more than talent and how early money might be killing the hunger of the next generation.
