Offstage With Miles Burris

Send us Fan MailMiles Burris joins Offstage America — former Oakland Raiders linebacker who went from peewee football to the NFL, became a day-one starter, and lived the full “dream turned pressure cooker” experience: draft day, walking into the facility for the first time, and lining up across from names like Peyton Manning.Miles breaks down the part people don’t see:what it takes mentally and physically to chase the league from childhoodthe reality of playing hurt and how a knee injury ended his career earlier than he ever plannedwhat the NFL feels like from the field (not from your couch)the emotional crash of losing the one identity you built your whole life aroundThen the conversation pivots into the second act: acting.Miles talks about getting pushed into acting by his wife when he was stuck and depressed after football, booking auditions early, then hitting the drought that nobody warns you about. He explains how the traditional acting path is changing fast — and how social media turned into his shortcut, his resume, and the reason he’s now getting offered roles without the same old cattle-call process.They also get into the wild overlap between sports, entertainment, and the creator world, plus the behind-the-scenes story of how Miles and Brady originally crossed paths in the wrestling/acting orbit.It’s funny, it’s honest, and it’s the kind of conversation that actually explains how people rebuild when the first plan dies.Follow Miles Burris: Instagram: @milesjamesburris Other platforms: @milesburristv Follow Offstage America on Instagram & Instagram @offstageamericaFollow Michael Instagram - @michaelraymusicTikTok - @michaelrayofficialFollow PaulInstagram & TikTok - @pauloffstage
