#74: Only .08% Make the NFL… Here’s What Happens After - ft. Chris Odom

Text Shellda a quick review and he might post it on his IG story! [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2428081/fan_mail/new] Former NFL defensive end Chris Odom has lived a life that only 0.08% of high school football players ever reach... making it to the National Football League. His story goes far deeper than football. In this episode of The Shellda Podcast, Chris opens up about life beyond the field: the reality of playing in the NFL, the mental battle of tearing his ACL, and how he rebuilt his career across multiple professional leagues. We also dive into the most important part of Chris’s life — being a father. His daughter Cassidy was born with osteogenesis imperfecta (brittle bone disease) and has experienced over 100 bone fractures in her young life. Chris shares how becoming her father changed his mindset forever and gave him a deeper purpose both on and off the field. We also talk about Chris’s unexpected love for paintball, how the sport brought him back during COVID, and what it means to see professional paintball played inside an NFL stadium. This episode is about identity, resilience, family, and what it really means to use your platform for something bigger than sports.
