NFL: Move the Sticks with Daniel Jeremiah & Bucky Brooks11 Kesä 2025

Jeff Allen says Andy Reid is the GOAT, talks landing on Oprah’s Favorite Things list, his budding cookie empire

On the latest NFL Players: Second Acts podcast, former Super Bowl champion and offensive lineman Jeff Allen joins Peanut and Roman.

Jeff takes it back to his roots in Chicago, where he began his football journey at King College Prep. He reflects on what it was like growing up in the city and the stark contrast between Chicago’s football culture and the football-obsessed environment of Texas. Jeff also shares his improbable rise from a zero-star high school recruit to making it to the NFL.

The conversation turns to the infamous 2013 Wild Card matchup between the Chiefs and Colts, where Jeff opens up about the emotional rollercoaster of blowing a 28-point lead, a memory that still stings.

He talks about what it was like playing under Chiefs head coach Andy Reid and shares where he ranks Reid on his personal list of the greatest head coaches of all time. Jeff then goes on to tell the story of how Reid called him to talk him out of retirement and how he ultimately earned a Super Bowl ring in 2019 despite being released midseason.

Now in his second act, Jeff dives into his entrepreneurial journey with Cookie Society, the gourmet cookie brand he co-founded with his wife. He shares the hilarious story of posing as the company’s PR rep to communicate with Oprah’s team, an email that led to Cookie Society being featured on Oprah’s Favorite Things list. Jeff also gets candid about the challenges of building a business and what he's learned along the way.

The NFL Players: Second Acts podcast is a production of the NFL in partnership with iHeart Media.
