Season 4 Episode 2 is with Nick Rapone, Safeties Coach at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Although Coach Rapone currently handles Safeties, he's one of the best Corners coaches in the world so I wanted him to join us about the fundamentals needed to play the position, as well as Press, Off, and Bail Techniques. NOTE: This episode was recorded in July of 2021 right before I went to the hospital for COVID. When I got out, I started the "Getting Ready for the Season" series and this pod felt a little out of place, so I waited to release it until now. Also, pardon the long stories at the beginning - Coach Rapone has profoundly affected my life with his generosity and kindness, so I wanted to tell him thank you, and share the stories with you. I hope you don't mind indulging me for a bit!
