The QB podcast talks to Tanner Mangum, Former BYU star and Elite 11 MVP [On A Mission] (Ep. 11)
Tanner Mangum went from being the best high school QB in Idaho, to co-MVP (with Jameis Winston) of both the Elite 11 and prestigious Under Armour All America game, to leaving football for two years to serve a religious mission in Chile. The mission was in accordance with his Mormon faith. After the two-year hiatus, Mangum became BYU's backup QB. With an injury to the team starter, Mangum came off the sidelines and led BYU to two consecutive miracle victories with last second Hail Mary's. His legend was born. That season, he'd go on to set BYU records for most passing yards and TDs as a freshman. That's better than previous BYU stars, Steve Young, Ty Detmer, or Jim McMahon. But injuries and other setbacks set off trying times, and struggles with mental health. Mangum bravely opened up about these challenges, winning fans across the country. But what about football? Does he have what it takes to make an NFL roster? Mangum sits down with Brian Fitch and Quincy, who's training Mangum for the draft, in one of the most revealing and inspiring interviews featured on The QB podcast.
