In this powerful episode of Nashville Restaurant Radio, we welcome an unforgettable trio into the studio — father and son NFL standouts Brad and Brycen Hopkins, alongside Ollie Gabriel, CEO of Aura Holdings Group, to talk football, family, legacy, and the launch of their new concept B-Hops.

Brad Hopkins spent 13 seasons in the NFL, anchoring offensive lines for the Houston Oilers and Tennessee Titans, including a Super Bowl run that helped define Titans football. His son, Brycen Hopkins, followed in his footsteps — and then reached the absolute pinnacle of the sport by winning a Super Bowl with the Los Angeles Rams.

What makes this episode truly special is the conversation around that moment — the moment when a father watches his son achieve what every player dreams of. We dive into the emotion, pride, humility, and perspective that comes from seeing the game come full circle across generations.
