We kick off the second season of the Mighty Writers Podcast with a conversation with former NFL safety and two-time Super Bowl champ Malcolm Jenkins who recently published a revealing and introspective memoir, “What Winners Won’t Tell You: Lessons from a Legendary Defender.”

In addition to his achievements on the field, Jenkins is admired for the work he did with Anquan Boldin and other NFL players to form the Players Coalition, which transformed the NFL by bringing together owners, players and other stakeholders to fight racial injustice. In 2010 he founded the Malcolm Jenkins Foundation, which aims to make positive change in the lives of youth in Louisiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania and his home state of New Jersey.

In this episode, we discuss writing, influential people and moments in Jenkins’ life, activism and fatherhood.
