Episode 8: The NFL Player on Campus

Cleveland Browns wide receiver and Columbia University graduate student Andrew Hawkins joins host Joe Favorito this week to talk about his plans for a career after pro football.

Andrew opens up about his circuitous route to the top, which included a period playing for the Montreal Alouettes and a spot in Michael Irvin’s reality show 4th and Long, and how that led him to start planning early for life beyond the NFL.

And he also gives his view on the Cam Newton/Peyton Manning media debate, and the story behind his fleeting appearance in a Hollywood blockbuster.
