Utter Punts: An NFL Podcast

In conversation with Minnesota Vikings legend Jake Reed

Season 2, Ep. 13.5

In this podcast special, Minnesota Vikings legend, and member of legendary wide receiver core 'Three Deep,' Jake Reed generously made time to chat football with the, non-evil Purple team, Utter Punts.


Come and join us listening to Jake describe his draft experience at Grambling State University, pay homage to his legendary coaches, give Cris Carter his flowers, assess where Justin Jefferson would fit in the 'Three Deep', his love for the UK NFL fans, and much more.


They say you shouldn't meet your heroes, but they are wrong.
