Colts QB Riley Leonard: From Broken Fibula to Finding Purpose Beyond Football | TT2 Ep. 17
Jan 1601:09:18Tap to summarizeWelcome back to Travis Take Two! Hosted by brothers Jordan Travis (FSU & NFL quarterback) and Devon Travis (FSU & MLB second baseman), this episode features Indianapolis Colts quarterback Riley Leonard for an honest conversation about faith, injuries, and what it really means to achieve your dreams.Riley opens up about his brutal injury journey—three surgeries in one offseason including turf toe, ankle reconstruction, and a broken fibula that nearly derailed his transfer to Notre Dame. He gets real about running out of the tunnel for the national championship game and still feeling like "surely there's more," and why moments in church fill his soul more than wins on the field. The conversation dives into what keeps him grounded: his faith, perspective shifts like the Chinese farmer parable, and learning to trust that setbacks might be setups.From competing behind Anthony Richardson and Joe Flacco to watching Philip Rivers come off the couch to take snaps, Riley shares the mental battle of being a young quarterback waiting for his shot. He talks about training with Philip in Alabama, their hyper-competitive swimming contests, and randomly running into him at a gas station buying sandwiches weeks after fighting for a playoff spot together. Riley also gives us an inside look at Marcus Freeman's player-first coaching style—Friday night poker games, letting captains make decisions, and staying unshakably calm on the sideline. This episode is about patience, purpose, and trusting the process even when it doesn't make sense.The brothers also break down the college football national championship (Indiana vs. Miami), make their NFL playoff picks, and wrap up Season 1 with a heartfelt reflection on their favorite moments and what this podcast has meant to them.Timestamps:0:00 - Intro0:39 - Indiana vs Miami National Championship Preview6:28 - Fernando Mendoza's Incredible Story9:14 - Miami's Defense vs Indiana's Offense Breakdown13:40 - Carson Beck's Redemption Arc17:02 - Dante Moore Returns to Oregon20:02 - NFL Playoffs Best Matchups36:01 - Weekend Picks: Bills, 49ers, Rams, Texans38:16 - Riley Leonard Interview: Faith, Injuries & NFL Life56:57 - Marcus Freeman Stories58:48 - Season 1 Finale ReflectionsConnect with us! https://www.instagram.com/jordantrav13/?hl=enhttps://www.instagram.com/devotrav/?hl=enhttps://www.instagram.com/bertkreischer/?hl=en

He gets vulnerable about his anxiety struggles during freshman year, how breathing techniques and faith helped him cope, and why he's now an advocate for mental health awareness among athletes. The conversation dives into what separates elite quarterbacks from good ones: processing speed, film study, and the mental game that most people never see.From the awkward NFL Draft green room wait to adjusting to life as a young quarterback in Chicago, Justin shares the real challenges of the league—dealing with a struggling offensive line, handling media criticism, and staying grounded through it all.

Transcribe →Coach Mike Norvell on FSU Rebuild & Jordan Travis' Greatest Moment | Travis Take Two Ep. 15
Dec 1901:07:36Tap to summarizeWelcome back to Travis Take Two! Hosted by brothers Jordan Travis (FSU & NFL quarterback) and Devon Travis (FSU & MLB second baseman), this episode features the man who changed everything—Florida State head coach Mike Norvell. Before Coach hops on, the guys break down the 12-team College Football Playoff bracket, picking Georgia to win it all, calling Miami as the most vulnerable upset pick, and debating which coaches have the most on the line this postseason. They dive into Carson Beck's importance to Georgia's run, what makes Oregon's offense so dangerous, and why defense still wins championships in moments like these.When Coach Norvell joins, the conversation becomes a masterclass in resilience and leadership. He opens up about the humbling experience of being fired at Memphis, what he learned about faith and perspective during that season, and how he approached the massive rebuild at Florida State. Coach shares stories from that first team meeting, establishing the brotherhood and championship culture that would eventually lead to an undefeated ACC championship season, and why every decision as a head coach carries weight that impacts people's lives. The highlight? His favorite Jordan Travis moment—when JT, banged up and barely able to practice, looked him in the eye before the 2021 Syracuse game and said "I'm playing this damn game," then willed FSU to a last-second victory that became the turning point for the program's resurgence.From rebuilding a dynasty to his message for Seminole Nation moving forward, this episode is about staying the course, trusting the process, and believing that tough times make the best stories.

Transcribe →College Football Playoff is Broken & Jarrian Jones' NFL Journey | Travis Take Two Ep. 14
Dec 1200:58:43Tap to summarizeWelcome back to Travis Take Two! Hosted by brothers Jordan Travis (FSU & NFL quarterback) and Devon Travis (FSU & MLB second baseman), this episode kicks off with the guys going OFF on the College Football Playoff committee. Still scarred from FSU's 2023 snub, Jordan and Devon break down the absolute mess of the 2024 playoff rankings—Notre Dame getting completely left out despite finishing strong, James Madison and Tulane jumping in over legit contenders, Alabama backing in after getting destroyed by Georgia, and Miami somehow finding their way through the chaos.They question everything: why do weekly rankings even matter if the committee doesn't compile analytics until the end? Why does head-to-head matter some years but not others? What's the actual criteria? The frustration is real, and they don't hold back.Then FSU defensive back Jarrian Jones joins the show fresh off his rookie season with the Jacksonville Jaguars. Jarrian gets real about transitioning from college to the pros, how veteran nickel Jordan Lewis completely changed his approach to preparation and recovery, and why the FSU mentality of "I got this" had to evolve in the NFL. He shares the behind-the-scenes work that no one sees, talks about that iconic viral photo he never got paid for, and opens up about his philosophy on life and football—doing it his way, having fun regardless of circumstances, and being the hunter instead of the hunted. From Florida State brotherhood to NFL grind, this episode is about staying true to yourself, putting in the work when no one's watching, and keeping God first through it all.This episode is sponsored by Martoccio Law Group.Martoccio Law Group is an employment law firm that represents employees against employers.

Dec 501:19:05Tap to summarizeWelcome back to Travis Take Two! Hosted by brothers Jordan Travis (FSU & NFL quarterback) and Devon Travis (FSU & MLB second baseman), this episode features Arizona State head coach Kenny Dillingham. Before Kenny joins, the guys break down Florida State's brutal 2024 season finale against Florida, the lack of fight they witnessed all year, and what it feels like to watch a program hit rock bottom after back-to-back magical seasons. They get real about the transfer portal era, NIL chaos, and why writing checks to Battle's End matters more than complaining on Twitter—before diving into their thoughts on coaching loyalty and what's broken in college football right now.When Kenny hops on, the conversation turns into a masterclass in building culture and staying true to yourself. He shares his journey from FSU offensive coordinator to Auburn OC to becoming one of the youngest head coaches in the country at Arizona State—where he inherited just 38 scholarship players and transformed a 3-9 disaster into a Big 12 championship team in year two. Kenny opens up about the Lane Kiffin situation, why he turned down multiple job offers to stay loyal to his players, and what it really takes to lead young men through constant roster turnover. From that unforgettable Jordan scramble against Syracuse that changed everything in 2022 to why he doesn't even care about holding trophies, this episode is about authenticity, refusing to compromise your values, and remembering that helping people matters more than wins and losses.This episode is sponsored by Martoccio Law Group.Martoccio Law Group is an employment law firm that represents employees against employers.
