While the college scene is getting ready for Bert Emanuel Jr to storm onto the scene, Bert Emanuel Sr. know a thing or two about what it takes to thrive on that scene. The former Rice QB wrote the blueprint that Charlie Ward used to win a Heisman before converting to a WR in the NFL. Without missing a beat he put together 4 prolific seasons with the Falcons to begin his career.

Today Bert Sr. is a coach, an investor, a father and much more than a guy who has a rule named after him. Yes, of course we had to talk about THE RULE, but our conversation is much more than one play. In this one conversation Bert shows much more of who he really is as he talks about what it takes so succeed any aspect of your life.

On this episode of the Beyond the Helmet we are joined by All-American linebacker from App State,  D’Marco Jackson

Get to know D’Marco Jackson! D’Marco went from redshirting his first year, to getting - then losing - a starting job to blossoming into the DPOY in his conference and all-American. His meteoric rise over his career culminated with a terrific showing at the Reese’s Senior Bowl and invite to the NFL Combine.

Jackson will be playing on Sundays this fall. One team will be lucky enough to get a young man who continues to improve his game each and every year.

Tim Grunhard talks NFL, Chiefs, and his new book, 'View from Center'. On this episode of the Beyond the Helmet we are joined by Chiefs Ring of Honor member, former 11 year Center for the team, Tim 'Grunny' Grunhard. Before you read any further, please give us a follow/subscribe and leave us a 5 star review!

Kansas City got it right in 1990. When they draft 'Grunny' from Notre Dame in the second round they picked a man who would become a pillar for their organization for the next 30+ years. Tim made an immediate impact as a rookie and would string together an 11 year career, all with KC, that featured nearly 170 games played, including 164 starts. 

That was the 90's - what does he have to do with them today? Well, he is a KC area radio personality, in 2021 he was inducted into their Ring of Honor and just within the past few weeks he was in Germany as a KC Chiefs Ambassador with Dante Hall. The man is a lifer.

Grunhard has recently added author to his long list of accomplishments. 'View From Center' is available for preorder now at www.timgrunhard.com. After this conversation with him I don't see how you wouldn't want more stories and insights from him career.
