Matthew Stafford on Staying in LA, Aaron Donald’s Insane Workouts and Girl Dad Advice | Ep 128

92%ers we are back with another episode of New Heights presented by Nike. When the world says you can’t win, Nike says So Win!

Today we are joined by the Super Bowl-winning quarterback for the LA Rams, Matthew Stafford.

Matthew and the guys get into everything from his decision to stay in LA, how he’s built incredible relationships with receivers like Cooper Kupp, Puka Nacua, and Calvin Johnson, why he ended up playing for Georgia, and the Matthew shares the most incredible story about Aaron Donald’s workouts you’ve ever heard.

We also get into how the league has changed since he was drafted in 2009, which rookie QBs he loves watching, his advice for girl dads, and more!
