NFL Hall of Famer RON MIX brings the perfect MIX of NFL, Pro Football Retired Players Association and golf conversation

from The Approach Shot · host Bleav + Those Weekend Golf Guys

At 88 years old, you'd think NFL Hall of Famer RON MIX would be slowing down a bit, but his competitive fire still burns brightly. The NFL hall of Famer and 8x AFL All Star and AFL champion uses his experience and cunning to fight on behalf of former NFL players as President of the PFRPA (Pro Football Retired Players Association), where he works with other former greats like Jack Youngblood, Mike Singletary, Ahman Green to name a few to help players that are in need. Ron talks about those players, who put their bodies (and brains) through the wars of professional football, their lingering health issues, and how the PFRPA are helping those players and their families. Ron also reveals why he "hates" golf (turns out he doesn't really HATE it), and gives us his take on today's NFL. It's a fascinating view through the eyes of a man who has does it all and a must listen. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Called "one of the greatest offensive lineman ever", RON MIX, the former San Diego Charger and Oakland Raider RON MIX was one of the first ever to lift weights as a conditioning tool for the NFL. His strength and his football IQ made him an 8x AFL All Star (equivalent to our current NFL All Pro), an AFL Champion and an NFL Hall of Famer. He went on to become a wildly successful lawyer, fighting for the rights of retired NFL players. This is a very special episode with a very special man.
