*Running Routes* is a podcast about what happens after the final whistle. Hosted by former NFL player Allen DeGraffenreid, the show features honest conversations with former professional and college athletes about life beyond the game. These are people who reached elite levels of performance, built their identity around competition, and then had to figure out who they were when sports ended. Each episode explores the discipline, sacrifice, pressure, purpose, and personal transformation behind the athlete’s journey. You will hear the inside stories of high-level athletics, along with the real challenges of transition, reinvention, leadership, and finding a new route forward. Running Routes is about more than sports. It is about identity, resilience, greatness, and the journey beyond performance.
