On this weeks episode of the Black Rifle Coffee Podcast, Evan Hafer talks with Alejandro Villanueva. Alejandro was assigned to 10th Mountain Division in Afghanistan. Following his military career he went on to play in 7 seasons in the NFL as an offensive tackle.  

It barely took 1 day at Training Camp for the hot takes to hit the internet and media. We knew Russell Wilson was securely fixed as the starting quarterback, but some are already willing to give Justin Fields the job. Plus, parts of the fanbase and media are turning on George Pickens and are even willing to trade him. Rookies starting on the O-line? Insiders say 'not so fast.' Then, it's been a rare week of Mike Tomlin love. We've got the quotes, straight from the source, from Alejandro Villanueva and the great Smokey Robinson. Kyle has an issue with one of the Hall of Honor inductees. Finally, a pizza dedicated to Craig Wolfley, but who's willing to eat it? What Yinz Talkin' Bout is the conversation about the Steelers social media conversation, exposing the week's hot and toxic takes. Hosted by Kyle Chrise and Greg Benevent.

Graduating from the Naval Academy in 1965, he served as a supply officer in Vietnam before embarking on his illustrious NFL career. Staubach's time in the military instilled a sense of discipline and leadership that translated seamlessly onto the football field. Leading the Dallas Cowboys to two Super Bowl victories, he became known for his clutch performances and unwavering determination. Beyond his athletic achievements, Staubach's commitment to service and teamwork remains a defining aspect of his legacy. Pat Tillman is remembered as both a courageous NFL player and a patriotic U.S. Army Ranger. After establishing himself as a star safety for the Arizona Cardinals, he made the extraordinary decision to leave his football career and enlist in the military following the September 11 attacks. Tillman served with distinction in Afghanistan, embodying selflessness and dedication to his country. His tragic death in 2004 highlighted the profound sacrifices made by service members and underscored his legacy of bravery and honor. Tillman's story continues to inspire many, symbolizing the ultimate commitment to a cause greater than oneself. Rocky Bleier's journey from the battlefield to the football field is a testament to his resilience and determination. After being drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers in 1968, he was soon called to serve in the Vietnam War, where he was severely injured by a grenade. Despite doctors doubting his ability to walk again, Bleier defied the odds, enduring extensive rehabilitation to return to professional football. His perseverance paid off as he became a key player in the Steelers' dynasty, winning four Super Bowl titles. Rocky Bleier's story is a powerful example of overcoming adversity and the enduring spirit of a true champion.   Alejandro Villanueva's remarkable career bridges his service as a U.S. Army Ranger and his role as an NFL offensive tackle. After graduating from West Point, he served three tours in Afghanistan, earning a Bronze Star for his valor. Transitioning to professional football, Villanueva joined the Pittsburgh Steelers, where his discipline and leadership shone on the field. His unique journey from the battlefield to the NFL highlights his extraordinary commitment and resilience. Villanueva continues to be an inspiration, exemplifying the strength and dedication of a veteran who excels in both military and athletic arenas. Yogi Berra is celebrated both as a legendary baseball player and a dedicated World War II veteran. Before his storied career with the New York Yankees, where he won ten World Series championships, Berra served in the U.S. Navy and took part in the D-Day invasion at Normandy. His military service exemplified his bravery and commitment, qualities that he carried onto the baseball field. Known for his exceptional skills as a catcher and his memorable "Yogi-isms," Berra became an iconic figure in American sports. His life story reflects a profound dedication to both his country and his sport, leaving a lasting legacy of excellence and patriotism. Willie Mays is renowned not only for his extraordinary baseball career but also for his service as a U.S. Army soldier. Enlisted during the peak of his early career, Mays served in the Army from 1952 to 1953, missing significant playing time. Despite this interruption, he returned to Major League Baseball to become one of the greatest players of all time, known for his all-around skills, including hitting, fielding, and base running. Mays's military service exemplified his dedication and resilience, qualities that contributed to his legendary status in baseball. His dual legacy as both a sports icon and a veteran underscores his remarkable contributions to his country and the game. Bob Feller is revered both as a Hall of Fame pitcher for the Cleveland Indians and a dedicated U.S. Navy veteran. Enlisting in the Navy just days after the attack on Pearl Harbor, Feller served with distinction aboard the USS Alabama during World War II, earning six campaign ribbons and eight battle stars. Despite losing nearly four prime years of his baseball career to military service, he returned to the majors and continued to dominate, achieving 266 career wins and numerous strikeout records. Feller's unwavering patriotism and exceptional athletic talent made him a national hero both on and off the field. His legacy is a testament to the values of service, sacrifice, and excellence.   Ted Williams is celebrated as one of baseball's greatest hitters and a distinguished U.S. military veteran. Serving as a pilot in both World War II and the Korean War, Williams interrupted his illustrious career with the Boston Red Sox to fly combat missions, earning numerous commendations for his bravery. Despite losing nearly five years of playing time to his military service, he returned to the majors and secured his legacy with a .344 career batting average and 521 home runs. Williams' dual commitment to his country and his sport showcases his extraordinary dedication and talent. His story is an enduring example of how athletic prowess and patriotic duty can coexist in a life of remarkable achievement.   Joe Louis, known as the "Brown Bomber," was not only a legendary heavyweight boxing champion but also a dedicated U.S. Army veteran. Holding the heavyweight title from 1937 to 1949, Louis's boxing career was briefly interrupted by his service during World War II. He enlisted in 1942 and spent the war years primarily in morale-boosting activities, including exhibition matches for the troops, which earned him great respect and admiration. Louis's contributions extended beyond the ring and battlefield, as he also played a significant role in breaking racial barriers in America. His legacy is a powerful blend of athletic excellence, patriotic service, and social impact.   Arnold Palmer, known as "The King" of golf, is celebrated both for his illustrious career in professional golf and his service in the U.S. Coast Guard. Before becoming a household name in the world of golf, Palmer enlisted in the Coast Guard in 1951, where he served for three years and honed his discipline and resilience. His military service provided him with a strong foundation that contributed to his success on the PGA Tour, where he won seven major championships and became a beloved figure in the sport. Palmer's charismatic personality and pioneering spirit helped popularize golf, making it accessible to a broader audience. His legacy endures not only through his contributions to golf but also through his example of service and sportsmanship. Jack Dempsey, nicknamed the "Manassa Mauler," was a renowned heavyweight boxing champion and a World War I veteran. Rising to fame in the 1920s, Dempsey held the heavyweight title from 1919 to 1926 and was known for his aggressive fighting style and devastating knockout power. Prior to his boxing career, Dempsey served in the U.S. Army during World War I, where he was stationed stateside and competed in military boxing tournaments. His military service instilled in him a sense of discipline and toughness that served him well in the ring. Dempsey's contributions to both boxing and his country cemented his status as one of the greatest sports icons of his era. David Robinson, widely known as "The Admiral," is renowned for his remarkable career as a professional basketball player and his service as a U.S. Navy officer. Graduating from the United States Naval Academy in 1987, Robinson fulfilled his military commitment before joining the NBA. In the NBA, he played his entire career with the San Antonio Spurs, earning numerous accolades including two NBA championships and induction into the Basketball Hall of Fame. Robinson's leadership skills and dedication, honed during his time in the Navy, translated seamlessly onto the basketball court, where he became known for his dominant play as a center. Beyond his athletic achievements, Robinson's commitment to service is evident through his continued philanthropic efforts, making him a role model both on and off the court.

On this episode of The Adrenaline Zone, hosts James “Sandy” Winnefeld and Sandra Magnus are joined by Alejandro Villanueva, Professional Football Player and former Army Ranger.   Many young men dream of the opportunity to play in the NFL, and spend their whole lives training to become a professional athlete. For Alejandro, a career in football was an unexpected means to achieving a very different dream: earning his MBA.   After graduating from West Point, becoming an Army Ranger, and completing several tours in Afghanistan, Alejandro still had his sights set on higher education, but he needed a way to pay for schooling. Rather than taking out loans or spending years putting money away, he decided to give life as an NFL offensive tackle a try.   What started as a plan to play for just one year and earn enough money for business school became a seven-year-long career. He played for both the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Baltimore Ravens; and in that seven-year period, Alejandro did in fact earn an MBA from Carnegie Mellon University.   Alejandro's ambition was matched only by his courage to pursue his ambitions at all costs. Reward only comes to those willing to risk it all for success.   Alejandro Villanueva Pittsburgh Steelers Pittsburgh Steelers (LinkedIn) NFL NFL (LinkedIn) US Army US Army (LinkedIn) Sandra Magnus Sandra Magnus (Twitter)   This episode is sponsored by Dunkin'.

Before his NFL career, Alejandro Villanueva was a rifle platoon leader in the 10th Mountain Division. During a deployment to an especially restive sector near Kandahar, Afghanistan, his unit faced heightened security challenges due to a prison break that freed a large number of Taliban fighters. But Villanueva also had to contend with a unique dilemma: after a member of the Afghan National Police accompanying his platoon opened fire on an approaching motorcycle, they lost sight of the driver. The potential that this was a civilian casualty led Villanueva's brigade headquarters to task his soldiers with determining what happened. The task was made much more challenging when Taliban radio communications indicating they were planning to attack the Americans along one of the most dangerous wadis in the area: Route Mariners. He joins this episode to share the story.

On today's show we continue our free agency frenzy getting into the players we like the most for the Chargers and the team deciding not to place the franchise tag on Hunter Henry.On the offensive side the focus of our wish list is on the offensive line and we make our arguments for guys like Corey Linsley, Alejandro Villanueva and Joe Thuney.Our defensive wish list is a little more scattered and we take a look at some edge rushers, corners and safeties that we would like the Chargers to pursue and how they fit with Staley's scheme.We learned this week that the Chargers will not franchise tag tight end Hunter Henry and why it seems more and more likely that he will be playing elsewhere in 2021.Built BarBuilt Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

Today we get into our second edition of Free Agent Friday and we discuss big names like JJ Watt and Von Miller, former Chargers Jason Verrett and Tyrell Williams as well as if Alejandro Villanueva and Leonard Floyd are good fits.JJ Watt is already released and Von Miller could be a cap casualty in Denver. We break down why Watt probably isn't going to happen while Staley's relationship with Miller could make him a possibility.In our reunion segment we look at a couple of former Chargers Tyrell Williams and Jason Verrett. What are the chances the team has enough faith in Verrett's health and Williams fit to make a reunion possible?ESPN has come out with the list of the top-50 free agents and linked Villanueva and Floyd to the Chargers. We get into if the Chargers should think about another aging veteran at tackle and if Floyd's 2020 production was a one-year wonder.Built BarBuilt Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.
