When I watched my favorite team, the San Francisco 49ers in the early 90’s I remember thinking how strong Bryant Young was on the field. After I interviewed him I found that he is one of the strongest people off the field. Bryant and his wife, Kristen are blessed with six children. Sadly Bryant lost his son, Colby to cancer. Through family and faith Bryant was able to be there for his family during that devastating time. Bryant was kind enough to talk with me about fatherhood, his son, Colby’s battle with cancer and his time in the NFL. I want to thank Bryant for his courage in speaking with me on my podcast. It was an honor to talk with him.
