Draymond Green, the NBA’s Swiss Army knife, is taking his talents off the court and into the world of football chatter. Yep, you read that right.
Draymond’s New Play: Football Talk Show
So, Draymond Green, the guy who’s been a beast for the Warriors, is diving into the football scene with a fresh Instagram Live show. Teaming up with Fox Sports NFL insider Jordan Schultz, they’re bringing us a weekly dose of gridiron gossip every Thursday at 7:30 p.m. ET, just before Thursday Night Football kicks off. It’s all happening thanks to OBB Media, and honestly, I can’t wait to see how this unfolds.
Green’s excitement is palpable. “Those who know me know Iโve loved football since I was a little kid,” he shared. “To this day, I love watching football even more than I love watching basketball.” Now that’s saying something coming from a four-time NBA All-Star. He’s pumped about diving into the insider world of football, a perspective he doesn’t often get as a player. And let’s be real, who wouldn’t want to hear Draymond’s take on the game?
BREAKING: I am thrilled to announce that Iโm joining @NFLonFOX as an NFL Insider and launching a new show: Why Is Draymond Green Talking About Football? with Jordan Schultz.

From the Hardwood to the Gridiron
Did you know Draymond dabbled in football back in the day? That’s right, before he was locking down opponents on the hardwood, he was out there catching passes as a tight end at Saginaw High School. He even had a stint with the Michigan State Spartans, where he got in on a couple of plays during their spring game in 2011. I think it’s pretty cool to see a baller like Draymond showing love to another sport.
Jordan Schultz, who’s as excited as a kid on Christmas morning, joined the “Awful Announcing Podcast” to chat about this new venture. “Iโm excited about this show because I think football fans will quickly fall in love with Draymondโs passion for the game and his perspective as an elite athlete,” Schultz said. “I learn something about the game every time I talk to him, and I know fans will too.”

Draymond’s Football Flashback
Throwback alert! Remember when Draymond suited up for the Spartans? His football cameo wasn’t exactly flawlessโhe got hit with a false start on his first play, and then, well, let’s just say the ball didn’t quite connect with his hands on the second. But hey, even legends have their off days, right? It’s like missing a free throwโit happens.
His former coach, Don Durrett, was all smiles seeing Draymond give football a shot. “Kids have a one-track mind, especially around here, that basketball is the only way to go,” Durrett said. “It was good for kids to see him out there playing football, giving it a shot. I was proud of him.”
So, what do you think? Could Draymond’s insights on football be as game-changing as his defensive plays on the court? Tune in and find out!
