NFL Bucs LS Zac Triner From Fringe DII Player To Super Bowl LV Champ
If there is one thing you need to know about Zac Triner it's this: you will never meet a more genuine, driven and humble person than him. Zac and I first connected on a chance Instagram DM when he was looking for someone to snap with after a short stint with the Houston Texans a few years ago. And, since then Zac has not only become a good friend but somewhat of a mentor not only to myself but numerous other aspiring young athletes looking to achieve a higher level of play. What is it about Zac's story that we find so compelling? Simple - he is the exception to the rule. He didn't go to a big time college, he didn't get drafted but, he had a hunch that he could snap at a high level. And, like Zac, everyone has a hunch deep down of what they think they might be capable of if they just took the chance to dive all in and see what happens. The only difference, however, is that Zac dove in head first. I would hope that Zac's story might inspire you to reconsider what you think is possible in your life. His story reminds us that instead of worrying about "what if this doesn't work out?" to ask ourselves, "yeah...but what if it DOES?" Enjoy.
