Ep. #058 - From the NFL to CAT with Nate Burleson

When the NFL comes knocking, you answer. So when former NFL wide receiver and current CBS Mornings co-host Nate Burleson expressed interest in training with the Secret Service, we opened our doors. He spent a hot July day undergoing a truncated selection process for our Counter Assault Team, part of our Special Operations Division. They went through the PT, weapons handling, obstacle courses and realistic scenarios that a CAT member could face on the job. At the end of this grueling day, he sat down with Secret Service Director Kim Cheatle to talk about his experiences and our agency. Are you interested in joining the Secret Service?
