In this exclusive interview, former Michigan and Ole Miss quarterback Shea Patterson joins me to deliver raw insights on playing Division I football in both the SEC and Big Ten, adapting to multiple offensive systems, and his journey into the USFL with the Michigan Panthers.
This is from my interview with Shae back in 2022 on the Nations Best Brotherhood Podcast with Nations Best Football.
