Kyle Long on NFL Mental Health, the Bears, and Life After Football
About this episode
Kyle Long discusses mental health in the NFL, his experiences, and insights on football and life after his playing career.
Kyle Long joins Kevin Clark for a wide-ranging conversation about life in the NFL, starting with an honest discussion about mental health and his own struggles during his playing career. Long talks about how the culture around mental health has changed in NFL locker rooms, the importance of asking for help, and the experience that ultimately taught him he didn't have to deal with everything on his own. They also get into the football side of things, including which former NFL stars could still play today, what Long has learned from covering the league as a media member, the Bears and Caleb Williams, Ben Johnson's offense, Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs, the NFL's best offensive linemen, and Kyle's choice for the toughest player he ever played with: Danny Trevathan.
