National Football Foundation’s ‘Good in the Game Podcast’ Debuts First Episode Today

The National Football Foundation (NFF) & College Hall of Fame released its debut episode of the Good in the Game podcast this week.

LaVar Arrington, the show’s host and a 2022 College Football Hall of Fame inductee from Penn State, was joined by Ohio State legend still to this day, Archie Griffin, for the inaugural edition. The two dive into Archie’s career; his influences as a kid; fumbling on his first career carry for the Buckeyes; playing for Hall of Fame Coach Woody Hayes; and what the game has meant to him on and off the field. Griffin, a 1986 College Football Hall of Fame inductee, has served on the NFF Board of Trustees since 2006.
