Ep27 – NFL Star Ryan Neufeld Gets Candid About Football & Autism

An unfiltered one-on-one with NFL Star Ryan Neufeld (UCLA, Dallas Cowboys, Jacksonville Jaguars, Buffalo Bills). Ryan opens up about his decade-long football career and how his life changed when his son Will was diagnosed with autism at age 3.

Ryan candidly shares the struggles he and wife Dawn (star of Vh1’s Football Wives) faced, his challenges with accepting his son’s diagnosis, why they decided to go public with it and use their platform to raise awareness, and why he thinks most dads should open up more but don’t.
