London Fletcher’s career is one of the most inspiring journeys in NFL history. An undersized linebacker who went undrafted, Fletcher fought his way into the league and became the heartbeat of every team he played for—from the St. Louis Rams’ Super Bowl run to leading Washington’s defense for over a decade.

In this episode of The JustIn Time Podcast, we dive deep into Fletcher’s legacy as one of the most durable players in NFL history. He shares stories from the Rams’ Super Bowl XXXIV championship, the respect Orlando Pace commanded in practice, and what it meant to line up against legends like Tom Brady. We also uncover the leadership lessons he carried from the field into life after football.

For fans who value grit, resilience, and the behind-the-scenes truth of the NFL, this conversation is a must-listen. Fletcher’s story isn’t just about football—it’s about what it means to earn respect the hard way.
