The brothers’ Holt: Rams legend Torry Holt and his brother Terrence, who was also a six-year NFL veteran, join Peanut and Roman on the pod. It’s fitting that they’re on together since they've remained attached at the hip for much of their lives. They played at the same college - North Carolina St. - though they missed being teammates by one season. They competed against each other in many hard-fought battles in the six years their NFL careers overlapped. Today, they’re partners in the many business ventures of their company Holt Brothers Inc. In this episode, they talk about being the rare brother combo to make it to the NFL, the (friendly) sibling rivalry that bonded them and fueled their fires to make it to the league. Torry made a name for himself as one of the key cogs in the “Greatest Show on Turf” Rams offense that won Super Bowl XXXIV, and he talks about the intangibles that made them great. When he retired it was younger brother Terrence who gave Torry the blueprint on how to navigate the transition, which eventually led them to becoming business partners. Today, the brothers run their company and their foundation - Holt Brothers Foundation - to honor their mom Ojetta, whom they lost to cancer.  Topic timeline:  2:52- what it was like growing up together 5:55 - Torry shares the Super Bowl connection to his “welcome to the NFL” moment 6:52 - Terrence recalls how he was welcomed to the NFL with a stiff arm  9:25 - Torry talks about why he won’t fix his now famous mangled middle finger 12:05 - The brothers share their pride of bothy making it to the NFL  16:53 - The Holt brothers and Roman share their real life attachment to the phrase “if you see it, you can be it”  17:50 - Peanut and the Holt brothers revel in their stories of friendly competition amongst brothers  22:56 - Torry talking about the experience of being on the Rams offense called “The Greatest Show on Turf”  27:22 - Torry talks about whether he believes he’ll get into the Pro Football Hall of Fame  30:36 - Terrence talks about preparing for his post-NFL life while still playing, battling depression, and finding purpose after football  38:12 - Torry talks about the expectations of being a professional ballplayer  39:02 - Torry shares how health led him to retire from the NFL 40:56 - Terrence shares how he tutored Torry about the business world  43:16 - The Holt brothers share the path to learning the business world and creating their construction company  46:54 - Terrence gives advice to players about the importance of using their pro athlete experience in the business world  51:07 - The Holt brothers share their plans for the future of their company “Holt Brothers Inc.”  56:33 - The Holt Brothers talk about the promise to their mom they’re fulfilling through their “Holt Brothers Foundation”  1:04:39 - The Holt brothers share the influence of their mom *NOTE: Timecodes are approximate  The NFL Players: Second Acts podcast is a production of the NFL in partnership with iHeart Radio.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
