In this episode, I sit down with NFL veteran Trent Murphy for a wide-open conversation about football, competition, discipline, and the lifestyle that shaped him on and off the field.

Trent walks through his journey from Stanford to the NFL Combine, breaking down what the combine is really like—how athletes train, what scouts actually look for, and the make-or-break moments that define a career before it even starts.

We dive into some of the toughest and most talented players he ever battled in the trenches, the matchups that sharpened him, and the stories that only someone who lived it can tell. From elite offensive linemen to rising stars, Trent names names and explains what separated the great ones.

He also gives his unfiltered perspective on the current state of college football—NIL, the transfer portal, the shifting culture, and what young players need to understand if they want to thrive at the next level.

Trent opens up about how bowhunting became his escape from the constant noise, pressure, and intensity of the NFL. He talks about discovering archery as a way to reset mentally, find peace, and reconnect with nature. That passion didn’t fade after football—it actually deepened. Trent shares how bowhunting evolved into a grounding force in his life long after the stadium lights went out, helping him stay focused, intentional, and centered.

From football to personal growth to the outdoors, this episode gives you inside access to the mindset and habits of a true competitor and lifelong learner. If you’re a football fan, a hunter, or someone who loves high-performance conversations, this one hits every level.
