He played college football at Western Colorado and signed with the Chargers as an undrafted free agent in 2017. More recently, he debuted season 2 of his show “Ekeler’s Edge” on the Yahoo! Fantasy Football Forecast Podcast. We talk about his career, daily habits, how he’s built his brand, and more during this episode.
