Send us Fan Mail

Join former Kansas City Chiefs fullback and Super Bowl champion Anthony Sherman (Super Bowl Champion (Super Bowl LIV) and Pro Bowl Participant (2018)) on this episode of Unspoken as he dives into his 10-year NFL career, the transition to retired life, and his passion for youth coaching. Famously nicknamed "Sausage" by legendary coach Andy Reid, Sherman shares the "compact" story behind the moniker and reflects on the business reality of the NFL—where "Not For Long" is a constant mindset. Throughout the conversation, Sherman discusses the importance of teaching grit, commitment, and how to handle failure to young athletes, applying the same high expectations to his flag football teams as he did in the professional locker room. From behind-the-scenes stories of being traded to his deep respect for the military and his new path in law enforcement, this episode offers an unfiltered look at professional athlete parenting, mentorship under Eric Bieniemy, and the "bring your lunch pail" work ethic required to succeed at the highest level.
