More Than Football: Eagles’ Kylen Granson’s Game Plan for Childhood Literacy

Kylen Granson is a tight end for the Philadelphia Eagles—but his impact extends far beyond the end zone. After being under-recruited in high school, breaking nearly every bone possible, and walking away from a Division I scholarship, Kylen fought his way into the NFL through sheer discipline and self-belief. Now, he’s using his platform to tackle one of the country’s biggest silent crises: childhood literacy. In this episode, Kylen shares the story behind KG’s Kids, the nonprofit he founded to spark a love of reading and support dyslexic students. We talk growing up with a teacher mom, reading Percy Jackson on a match-for-screen-time deal, and how one moment of vulnerability can change a life. This isn’t just a football story—it’s about building the kind of legacy that lasts long after the lights go out.
