About this listen

On this episode of the NFL Players: Second Acts podcast, Peanut Tillman and Roman Harper sit down with Hall of Fame center Kevin Mawae for a conversation packed with stories from the trenches and lessons from a career defined by toughness and leadership. Kevin shares his “welcome to the NFL” moments, from getting blasted as a rookie long snapper to battling Hall of Famer Cortez Kennedy in camp. He reflects on blocking for some of multiple 1,000-yard rushers, including Curtis Martin, Chris Johnson, and Chris Warren. Kevin also opens up about the transition from guard to center, the brutal diet that fueled his playing weight, and the camaraderie that made offensive line rooms so special. Beyond the gridiron, he talks about his role as president of the NFLPA, and as an advocate for players throughout his career. From pancakes at training camp to Pro Football Hall of Fame induction, this is Kevin Mawae’s journey through football and beyond.

The NFL Players: Second Acts podcast is a production of the NFL in partnership with iHeart Media.
