Former Seattle Seahawks offensive guard John Moffitt sat in NFL locker rooms, Vegas high-rollers’ lounges, and now…behind the counter of a Connecticut smoothie and coffee shop.

In this episode of Legally Goff, attorney Brooke Goff and co-host Brian sit down with John for a raw, funny, and surprisingly vulnerable conversation about life on and after the line of scrimmage. John talks about getting drafted by the Seahawks, traded to the Broncos, a brief stint with the Eagles, and why he ultimately walked away from the league with a love–hate relationship with football.

He opens up about concussions, CTE fears, painkiller shots, the insane adrenaline cycle that leads to drugs, gambling and 72-hour Vegas benders—and how that same impulsive streak landed him in real legal trouble. John shares what he learned about the justice system, why “get a good lawyer” is his #1 piece of advice, and how the NFL handled (and hid) the truth about brain injuries.Plus: the Taylor Swift effect on the league, why he thinks the Jets have an “ownership problem,” and how he reinvented himself as the owner of Moonshots, a family-run latte and smoothie spot—complete with Brooke helping him design a new low-sugar “Brooke’s Brew” on air.

If you care about football, the law, or second chances, this one’s a must-listen.
