A danseur, an accomplished harmonica player and an opera singer, sounds like a start of a bad joke, but they’re the subjects of this week’s podcast.
1. Christian McCaffrey is not only a GQ cover model and the guy you want on your fantasy football team but also a coveted musician. McCaffrey, who is dating model Olivia Culpo, is a master of the harmonica and a skilled pianist. MAN OF MANY TALENTS
2. Kyler Murray is one of the few athletes who could have gone pro in more than one sport. While has was drafted in the MLB Draft (Major League Baseball), he chose football. The Arizona Cardinals quarterback is a chess guru and a professional gamer. When renewing his contract in 2022, the Cardinals built in an ‘independent study’ clause, requiring Murray to “perform at least four hours of independent study of Arizona's opponent in a non-bye week.” After the media caught wind of it, the team removed the clause, calling it a ‘distraction.’ ABOVE AVERAGE
3. Jon Dorenbos retired after having open heart surgery. During and after his career he spent time impressing TV viewers worldwide on shows like “Ellen” with his hidden talent, magic. The long snapper appeared on “America’s Got Talent” where he didn’t win, but fans rallied hard for his own magic show in Vegas. (It never happened). A GUY CAN DREAM
4. Placekicker Justin Tucker has a voice of an angel and a leg of a giraffe (they can decapitate a lion with a kick). Tucker is a remarkable opera singer. He has been asked to perform at the Baltimore Symphony and the New York Opera and has performed as part of an NFL commercial. MUSIC TO OUR EARS
5. Herschel Walker is one of the biggest names in football. The retired running back credits his ballet training in his fitness routine as part of his success. He made his ballet debut with the Fort Worth ballet in 1988. If that’s not impressive enough, Walker went to the 1992 Olympics as a bobsledder and is a martial artist. WHAT CAN’T HE DO?
