Welcome 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.

Welcome back to Travis Take Two! Hosted by brothers Jordan Travis (FSU & NFL quarterback) and Devon Travis (FSU & MLB second baseman), this episode features Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields for a candid conversation about his journey to the NFL and what it takes to compete at the highest level.

Justin opens up about his transfer from Georgia to Ohio State—why he left, what really happened with Jake Fromm, and how he just wanted a fair shot to compete. 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. He talks about his pre-game prayer ritual with his dad, how his relationship with God keeps him centered, and wraps things up with some fun moments about anime, photography, and his ping pong skills.

This episode is about faith, mental toughness, and staying true to yourself through the grind.

Welcome 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. Go Noles.
