Former UCLA record-setting quarterback and 8-year NFL veteran Brett Hundley joins Marcus McMaryion on Athlete Country Club to share the full journey — from Chandler, Arizona to the Green Bay Packers and everything that's come after. Ranked the #2 dual-threat quarterback in the country coming out of high school, Brett went on to rewrite UCLA's record books, becoming the program's all-time leader in touchdown passes in just three seasons as a starter. He was drafted by the Green Bay Packers in 2015 and went on to play eight years in the NFL across five organizations — including Green Bay, Seattle, Arizona, Indianapolis, and Baltimore.
But this conversation goes far beyond football.
Brett opens up about the realities most fans never see — what it was really like sitting behind Aaron Rodgers in what he calls "Quarterback School," the mental side of playing quarterback in the NFL, the truth about NFL contracts and money, and what happens when the pads finally come off. He shares how he's built a thriving life after football through real estate investing, business, and traveling to over 65 countries — and the mindset shifts every athlete needs to make before their playing days end.
Whether you're a young athlete chasing the dream, a parent navigating the recruiting process, or someone trying to figure out what comes next after sports, this episode is packed with lessons on preparation, identity, money, and building a life beyond the game.
