He also shares how he’s made it his mission to impact the lives of young people both through his Darrell Green Youth Life Foundation and as the Associate Athletic Director at George Mason University.

And he shares the story of the long-standing beef he had with Jerry Rice during their playing days, and how he used the media to finally get Jerry’s attention. All that, and much more, in this wide-ranging interview.
