Episode 62: Damiere Byrd

About this episode

Damiere Byrd discusses his experiences as a fast football player and his journey to becoming a 9-year NFL wide receiver.

He's perhaps the fastest man to ever suit up for the Garnet & Black, and if you don't believe it, just ask any SEC defensive back from 2011-2014. Damiere Byrd was an absolute blur on a football field, but this week he's slowing down to talk about his playing days, his wild official visit, and his development into a 9-year NFL wide receiver.
