Episode Description

What does it take to survive in the NFL? Former NFL quarterback Garrett Gilbert joins the Hope Ignited Podcast to share the wild reality behind his football journey. From learning under Tom Brady during a Super Bowl run to sharing a locker room with Cam Newton, Garrett opens up about the highs, setbacks, and resilience it takes to stay in the league.
After being cut 11 times and bouncing between teams, Garrett finally got his moment. In one of the craziest stories of his career, he got a cal telling him to get to Washington immediately. Hours later he was on a private jet headed to DC, preparing to start an NFL game for a team he had only been with for 48 hours… barely knowing the playbook.

In this episode Garrett talks about:
• Playing with Tom Brady and the Patriots
 • Life as an NFL journeyman quarterback
 • His time with Cam Newton with the Carolina Panthers
 • Starting an NFL game for the Dallas Cowboys
 • The pressure, setbacks, and lessons behind chasing an NFL dream

Garrett’s story is a powerful reminder that sometimes you learn more from waiting and persevering than you do from winning.
