    Kyle Hamilton & Puka Nacua: Playing with Derrick Henry & Why Stafford is the MVP | EP 7

    Send us a text In this episode of Real Ones: The League, presented by Experian, you will see: Baltimore Ravens All-Pro Safety Kyle Hamilton and Los Angeles Rams All-Pro Wide Receiver Puka Nacua join San Francisco 49ers All-Pro Linebacker Fred Warner for a raw, unfiltered conversation from the EA Sports Madden NFL booth at Super Bowl Media Center. From the disappointment of the Ravens' season to the high-powered energy of the Rams' #1 scoring offense, these superstars open up about the mindset required to dominate at the highest level. Kyle Hamilton breaks down his role as a "Swiss Army knife" on the Ravens' defense and what it's like playing alongside future Hall of Famer Derrick Henry. Meanwhile, Puka Nacua reacts to teammate Matthew Stafford winning the MVP and how the addition of Davante Adams transformed the Rams into a scoring machine. In this episode, we dig into the upcoming Super Bowl LX matchup between the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks. Kyle and Puka analyze the "explosive" offense of the Patriots led by Drake Maye and the elite Seattle defense coached by Mike Macdonald. Kyle shares his Top 3 NFL Safeties—giving flowers to Nick Edwards, Derwin James, and Jalen Pitre—and tells a legendary story about being asked to sign a six-month-old baby’s forehead with a Sharpie in college. Plus, we get a funny moment when Kyle FaceTimes his "BFF" Tony Jefferson on the golf course and Puka attempts a "BFF" call to Davante Adams. Puka also sends a heartfelt message to Cooper Kupp ahead of the big game. Finally, Fred Warner opens up about his own path from a third-round pick to an All-Pro and his grueling recovery from a major ankle injury. He reflects on balancing new fatherhood with the grind of the NFL and looks ahead to the 2026 season, including the historic matchup against the Rams in Australia.

    Alex Smith on Surviving 17 Surgeries, 49ers & Harbaugh, Mentoring Mahomes, Kelce, Brock Purdy & Top NFL QBs | EP 4

    Send us a text A shattered leg, a flesh-eating infection, and a choice between amputation and the long road back—Alex Smith takes us inside the most honest definition of resilience you’ll hear this year. We trace the arc from No. 1 pick expectations and imposter syndrome in San Francisco, to Jim Harbaugh’s liberating “don’t worry” message, to Andy Reid’s aggressive philosophy in Kansas City that reignited confidence. Alex opens up about mentoring Patrick Mahomes while staying present as the starter, early Travis Kelce and the tough love that shaped him, and why leadership is really about clarity, consistency, and letting people be themselves. The conversation hits a new gear with the Washington injury: the spiral fracture, septic shock, and necrotizing infection that nearly cost him his leg. Alex details the limb salvage surgeries, the external fixator, and how military medicine at the Center for the Intrepid—and its “group suck” culture—changed his mindset. Hearing his surgeon say “you’re good to go” brought fear, not relief, until his wife reframed the moment: the man in the hospital bed would have begged for this chance. Then came the first hit back—Aaron Donald on his back—and the most powerful play of his career: standing up. We also dive into the state of quarterback play today—processing vs. arm talent, defensive disguises, and why pure progressions matter. Alex spotlights underappreciated excellence from CJ Stroud, Justin Herbert, Brock Purdy, and Matthew Stafford, then breaks down how elite teams build trust, accountability, and freedom. This is a masterclass in mindset, leadership, and what it means to play for something bigger than applause. If this moved you, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs a push, and leave a quick review so more listeners can find conversations like this. Your support helps keep these stories alive.
