Points On The Board is a podcast where managing editor, Kyle Harvey, Shadow League contributors, and guests break down the top stories from sports, culture and more.
Today we have Syracuse Alum, football player, Philly native and food entrepreneur, Derrell Smith.
Though he grew up in Philly, Smith spent his high school football days in New Castle, Delaware.
After winning Gatorade Player of the Year, he was recruited by Syracuse and spent his best seasons under the tutelage of, then head coach, Doug Marrone.
Life happened soon after. After making the roster of a few NFL teams, Smith turned his eyes to other endeavors, that lead him to become an award-winning chef, tv host, and businessman.
We talk about the moments in between that lead to his pivot. Plus...
Philly, Delaware football
Nipsey Hussle's impact on black business
When Rell decided to give up the game
How he came up with Amazeballs, his first dish Syracuse memories
Wearing the same college uniform of Donovan McNabb
The evolution of the black QB
Why aren't there more Black offensive coordinators in the NFL and NCAA
The one album you give your first child (He killed this question) The most important jersey in Philly Sports history.
And more.
