Dwight Freeney Joins to Talk Hall of Fame Induction, Golfing with Michael Jordan, and His Favorite Current Pass Rushers

On the latest Off the Edge with Cam Jordan podcast, Cam is joined by Hall of Famer and Super Bowl champion Dwight Freeney. In this episode, Dwight reflects on his recent induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s class of 2024. He shares what moment truly solidified the honor for him—whether it was receiving his Ring of Excellence or putting on the iconic gold jacket. Dwight also talks about the weight of being one of only 378 players, out of nearly 350 million to ever play football, to be enshrined in Canton.

Cam and Dwight dive into the art of pass rushing, discussing Dwight’s signature spin move and its lasting influence on the game today. Despite his Ring of Excellence listing him as a defensive end and outside linebacker, Dwight explains why he never wants to be remembered as an outside linebacker. 

He also reminisces about his first and only NFL touchdown in Week 4 of the 2003 season against the Saints, a game he wasn’t even supposed to play in due to a cracked rib.

Then, Dwight shares the story of how he became friends with basketball legend Michael Jordan, a relationship that began on the golf course and has continued ever since. 

The Off the Edge with Cam Jordan podcast is a production of the NFL in partnership with iHeart Radio.
