Our NFL Training Camp Tour stops in Tampa Bay to catch up with former teammate of Fred and Ryan's and family of The Pivot, the Super Bowl Champion Byron Leftwich who won both as a player and a coach and holds the current reins with the Bucs as the Offensive Coordinator.
Winning the Super Bowl as a teammate of Ryan's in Pittsburgh and a coach of the Bucs in 2021, Byron talks about the urgency to get back to the big game and his reaction the moment he found out Tom Brady would be back for one more season. Discussing all the talent and how impressed he is by the offensive weapons especially with the addition of Julio Jones joining Mike Evans and Chris Godwin, Byron feels the team is poised and ready to make one more run at the big game.
Talking about Tom Brady and what makes him special, Byron says it's pretty cut and dry- Tom views the game as simple and approaches it that way every play. Citing no one works harder and spends more time on the game than 12. The guys talk about moments and players throughout their careers comparing them to today's talent.
Channing chimes in with some of his commentary about Byron and makes him an offer he immediately refuses if he wins another Super Bowl. Fred and Ryan talk about how Byron wasn't just one of the best teammates but one of the best humans and going to make one heck of a head coach as he is next up.
Reminiscing about Byron's infamous college game where he was hurt and continued to play with a broken leg, the guys ask Byron what that experience was really like and how he was able to push through that time despite the severity of his injury. Fred asks if that was his most defining sports moment before winning a Super Bowl.

Deion Sanders said it best. When you are where god want you to be he will anoint everything around you and bless it. You guys have been truly anointed with the gift god planted inside each one of you. Continue to allow him to use you my brothers. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
"Lotta people got the platform, but it don't look an feel like this..." That's real spill. Even IAA doesn't feel like this anymore. Y'all really have something special here. Keep up the amazing work.
Y’all just live for the drama. You could’ve gave praise w/o mentioning IAA. Both can co-exist. No need to down the other.
@Ellie5621 -when Fred and Chan left, it took a lot of the character away from the podcast. But then Chad disappeared and it became a totally different situation. I still check it out from time to time. But the interviews don't have the same energy. A prime example is the AB interview. IAA interviewed him like they were groupies. TP touched on what Football fans wanted to know about. We don't care about you hanging out with Madonna. That's what I like about TP...Minimal lip service, maximum effective communication.
@@kevinstewart8054 - sure both can exist. But there will ALWAYS be a comparison because of the connection between all parties involved. And addressing those comparisons isn't living for drama. It's the reality of the situation.
@@kevinstewart8054 nah you don't understand someone seeing the uniqueness in one thing and saying another thing is lacking. That's not drama. It's compare and contrast. It's an integral part of business marketing and its a large part of understanding your fanbase. The comment is a fan saying why one stands out.
@@WHG369 why even compare it? Lol coming to one podcast to talk about another is DRAMA
no matter where Ryan, chan and Fred interview their guest....there's always ALWAYS this intimate vibe that i appreciate.
Coach Bruce Arians is a soul brother. He has given many African Americans chances that nobody else would give. He has eye for talent. Much respect to Coach BA NO RISK IT NO BISCUIT.
Thats why i was happy for him and the coaching for winning that superbowl
coaching staff i meant
He one of the only dudes back in the day who would dorm with an African American. That African American turned out to be Ronde and Tiki Barbers dad. Those twins call him uncle Bruce
@@Rock-ry1qq yeah that was big time two black coordinators.
@@carismabreak6515 what a beautiful story soul brother Bruce.
The homie Byron has come along way from them days at Woodson. As a DC native and person whos known this guy for 25 plus years, its great to see him get his chance to shine and will pull for him to get a HC job for sure.
He is the head coach
@@jaiquanbrown3076 he an offensive coordinator bro
We all preferred him to be the HC though....
@@jaiquanbrown3076 Todd Bowles is the head coach. He's the Off Coordinator
💯💯💯
Man I’ll never forget turning on sports center and seeing his offensive lineman carry him to the line of scrimmage after every down, such a legendary moment. As far as I’m concerned Byron Leftwich and Randy Moss put Marshall on the map. I was in pop Warner football at the time and once I got to high school my dad was always telling me to go to Marshal lol
Real spill. That game and the passion Leftwich and the linemen had was crazy to see as a kid. One of college's most historic games landmark for Marshall fa sho!
That was the Game
Epic
They both put the entire MAC conference on their back…
Man I gotta look up that clip. Those are the kind of teammates who you want rockin witcha on the field. Win or lose.
You can tell that Leftwich is a born motivator. They way he kept his head on a swivel and kept everyone involved in the conversation was impressive.
I peeped that too. He's engaging everyone naturally
Facts.

My TV
Growing up in Baltimore and Richmond projects i can tell this guy just as I did..didn't let his environment and/or other sway him from being HIMSELF first and foremost! Bravo!
He and Eric Bienemy are being robbed of head coaching jobs.
One my most favorite QBs ever. Especially as a Black QB who consistently threw from the pocket…..immense respect!
DAMN ! I didn't think any interview could match Mike Tomlin! Byron is right their with him two genuine good human beings! Keep up the good work guys! Thank you
Facts!!!!
Agreed
Hands down this the greatest podcast out. These cats are real genuine great Men! My brothers stay grounded and keep striving for excellence! You kings has elevated the bar so high it's ridiculous!!! Every guest you guys have get so comfortable and speak like we never hear them before. Y'all gotta go visit them saints tho. They gonna win the super bowl this year!!!
Vo
Brothers, Cats, Kings… you hit the black bingo with that 💩
@@B___848 thanks, but i left out one thing tho. BLACK EXCELLENCE!!! 👑 KING
100% , except the saints winning the bowl. My Rams going b2b haha!
@@gerrynunez9227 good luck bro! It's our year. Honestly hope we see y'all in the NFC championship.. 😂
When he becomes a head coach, so many players will want to play with him
Loved this especially as a black man. Not even a Bucs fan (browns fan) but i have enjoyed this brother's success from a far for a while. Black men thriving and winning is fulfilling for me. Which is why you'll never hesr me utter a bad word about Mike Tomlin until they play the brown's lol. But im always rooting for them and even yall, the pivout hosts..from Cleveland with love🙏🏾
Hearing Byron talk about what his O-line told him after he broke his leg gave me chills! The Pivot is a great podcast!
love how channing was quite the whole interview man everyone here knows their roles thats beautiful .THATS HOW IT SHOULD BE
The Pivot resonates every time. I smile. I feel moved. I feel the energy.
Listening to Leftwich talk about the game was satisfying. This is one of the best episodes they've done
I rock with Byron Leftwich. Definitely will be a great head coach in due time. I’ve actually been anticipating this interview for a while. Gotta love the pivot
So glad to see B. Left living his best life at this point in his career with the Buccs. Beautiful thing to see former players turn into solid and successful coaches in the league. Salute once again to the 3 Kings and The Pivot!
One of my all time favorite qb’s. Huge Byron fan
Man, these fellas compliment one another so well. Its also nice to see them interview players from their era. I love the previous star players I grew up watching getting a platform to express themself
Good shit
Big Fan of Byron. Glad you guys did this interview. He’s an awesome guy, you can tell he loves what he does. He’ll be a head coach soon!
I played against Byron in College. The pivot Brings it. The college moment was against us at Toledo
One thing I love about THIS podcast is they actually let the guest actually speak without always interrupting them. Yet they keep it fun at the same time.
Really proud of B Left!
IDK if everyone will easily hone in on the major 🔑 🔑 🔑 he shared, but he confirmed a lot for me.
No disrespect for Jamarcus Russell, but his account of how things played out in Oakland was just JR telling his side. But, there really wasn’t much food there for those coming behind Russell.
Leftwich shared solution thinking and awareness, plus the importance of figuring out who/what ones self is.
Dope episode for Pivot.
This is Pivot! Intelligent, insightful conversations and Chaning.
I legit lol'd
Chaning is hilarious! 😂😂
As a kid he was my first favorite qb. Now he's my favorite team's OC. 💪🏾GO BUCS!
Future Head Coach in the league. His time is coming
has time arrived already he coaching the Bucs this season
He already the HC right now.
Facts
@@jonathansimmons6452 Todd Bowles is think
Def can be but uk like ik the NFL think blacks r dumb and can't lead wit their brain. But yr after yr we r the best players how can't we teach the gamw
I remember the first time ever seeing Byron play was in the game where he broke his leg. His teammates had to carry him to the huddle. They don't make him like this any more. True warrior. Much respect.
I remember watching that with awe! 😳😲😯😮
I gotta see it. That’s real savage. One of my head coaches played with a broken arm. They really don’t make ‘em like that anymore.
Channings face when Bryon first mentions Washington Commanders is perfect
This man is ICONIC..i remember randomly watching the game when he was lifted... never left my brain as of how much of a leader and how much the guys around him respected him.
I was in undergrad while Byron was torching dudes on random Tuesday’s at Marshall. It’s awesome to see his growth! I love the fact that he stayed true to himself and didn’t take the Jags job just because it’s a job.
when Byron speaks there is no hesitation no filler words like Uh Oh Um. and then Byron has that cool accent. Really great interview
Man I love watching the coaches speak. This is like a new peak into NFL life that I never got to experience growing up. Thank you guys unfiltered and raw af. 🙏
Leftwich was the first to sign my hat at training camp a few weeks ago. Dope guy and great interview! 🤴🏾
They make their guests feel so comfortable. It's like a bunch of friends talking.
The nfl has so many coordinators that are well deserving of a head coaching title I just hope they get the opportunity🙏🙏🙏
Some need to just relish as coordinators
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾😇
Love how byron looks at coaching off the field. Seems like guys would play as long as that energy is around
Leftwich needs to be a Head Coach. Point, blank, period. Always thought he was a solid player especially for my Steelers for awhile.
From playing to the Bucs to coaching them to a SB. Proud to be a Buccaneer. He's going up in the circle for sure.
and now is likey gonna be fired today crazy
I need Byron as my life coach ....so smooth and calm
I love how these 3 guys never make it about themselves but always make it about the person being interviewed. That allow me person to relax and really express themselves. So when RC says " EVERYBODY CAN PODCAST BUT NOT EVERYBODY CAN PIVOT " They have the receipts to prove it. They are focused on the success of this podcast and nothing else. Salute to everyone who make this PIVOT what is!
🤣🤣🤣 That opening scene was hilarious. All four of y'all walk like y'all knees are shot. Football takes a hell of a toll on ones body. Respect to you guys, still hilarious tho. 🤣
Lol I thought the same thing
Another GEM! I knew of Byron Leftwich but I really got to know him. Love him approach and mindset. No accident he is in the position he’s in. Glad BA gave him the chance to showcase this greatness!!!!
Family I just watched the video of the lineman carrying him down the field..all I can say is... WOW!!!
Now that Byron on here, as a Jags fan I would love to see Jimmy Smith, Keenan McCardell or MJD on here
Would be amazing!!!
1 Jag is enough cause the organization is still trash! Glad they did Byron and respect to the others that came before but nothing about that organization that any player can ever mention is worth listening too
I was a huge fan of that jags team
@@I_be_e lmao thats actually a HORRIBLE take, if you don't like/care about the Jags it's easier to just say that. But anyone who's experienced life in general knows some of the best convos, lessons & insight can come out of situations you considered failure. to each his own tho 🤷🏾♂
Definitely 🔥🔥
He will be a head coach soon. He is just waiting for the right opportunity. Great interview. He is a class act, and I think he does have the chops keep offenses rolling in today's game.
As a DC native and a black man, I so appreciate this one, RC. HD represent!
byron leftwich repping dc wit the nats hat 💪🏾
DC legend with the Nats hat on 💪🏾
Seeing his transition from player to coach is one of the greatest I’ve ever seen. I can see why Coach Arians recognized that early on before Leftwich even saw it in himself. Much praise to him and hoping Left can get a much deserved HC opportunity soon.
Tom Brady loves this guy he's a future head coach
Heeeey the Great Leftwich was passing like Marino at Marshall. 400 passing yard games was nothing to this dude. The broken ankle game college classic. Thanks Pivot love the stars you all shine your light on!!! What about some black baseball players like Dontrelle Willis
Would love to see Willis
End of that movie "we are marshall" gives me chills when you see Leftwich throwing. He should coach college.
Times files. I remember being a college student 20 years ago playing NCAA football 03 with Marshall and Byron and now he’s an NFL offensive coordinator.
Never forget his O-line carrying Lefty down the field for the next play cause he was hurt. Always seemed like a cool dude
DC’s finest keep winning big bro
My 1st time really hearing Coach Leftwich. Great discussion!! And can definitely see him in HC position. Really appreciate his "I see him on the field every day. I KNOW what he can do" POV. Thank you guys for always introducing us to new names/faces and keeping it interesting. 💯
Byron will be a Head Coach real soon. He has a vast wealth of football knowledge as you can see and he has the personality to succeed.
Seeing Freddy have that Channing moment was funny lol….”beautiful handwriting”
Great to hear from this man. I believe that this man will continue to rise.
Great interview! BL is class personified. Hope this man gets a head coaching job real soon. He definitely deserves it.
Leftwich reppin for DC and HD Woodson. This was great interview for the Washington Commanders head coach.
Loved Leftwich at Marshall. I remember watching the O line carry him to the line because he had a broken leg and lead the comeback. Absolutely amazing to watch
I went to college with Byron. You could never find a nicer guy. Just a great person
Byron is a story teller frfr….painting pictures that are vivid enough to make you think you were there. It’s an art.
I was actually going to sleep on this one… Glad I didn’t!!!! Another One!!! ✊🏿 Respect
Brother Leftwich is the real deal and down-to-earth with everyone he communicatess with on this platform “The Pivot”.
this one was so easy to watch all the way through, I was waiting for more... Byron been a real one man
GREAT SHOW, I WAS HOOKED. I LOVE BROTHER BYRON LEFTWICH, HE BROUGHT TEARS TO MY EYES WHEN HE BROKE HIS LEG IN COLLEGE, AND ALWAYS BEEN A FAN EVER SINCE, AND NOW AS A COACH, HE MAKES U FEEL LIKE U WOULD RUN THROUGH A BRICK WALL FOR HIM. GOOD GUY 👍👍🔔
Channing gone find somebody that'll say yes lol hahaha 🤣🤣🤣
Antonio Brown 😄
BL is a legend. It felt good to see the crew give him the props he deserves. Dude was and still is a dawg!
This probably the best interview I have seen on Pivot! Great Job!!! You even had Channing mesmerized listening to BL!
This is the best podcast out rn. I love Joe rogan, bffs, full send pod, and impaulsive. But man the pivot is so different, the genuine natural conversation between former athletes w current ones is great. Nothing is forced all natural, Ryan, Freddie T, n CHANNING compliment each other exceptionally well. Keep up the great work boys nun but respect n love
U listen to mike tyson hotboxin best ones out there too
Love the way he carries himself…he’s going to be a fine head coach…but hopefully for the right team. I don’t wanna see him thrown to a trash team and they bury him after
“Lotta people got the platform but it don’t look and feel like this “!!!!!
Hands down my favorite show keep bringing that Fire 🔥 🔥🔥
I'd love to see Leftwich in Washington as a head coach.
I’d love to have him. Taking that job would be a mistake tho imo. Rivera is doing a great job tho. Ultimately as long as Snyder is the owner, we will never see the promised land
@@Tacconi757 I agree, Washington won't do much as long as Snyder is the owner. We also need a QB.
It’s such an honor to listen to Byron speak!!! Great man
I almost thought byron leftwich was David Garrard. Interview David Garrard. He’s the 5th best jag in the past 20 years behind Fred Taylor,Jimmy Smith & Paul Puzluzsny and Ramsey
This podcast allows players/coaches to be their true authentic self. It’s nothing else like it. Keep goin fellas!
I love this dude and his way about him. LFG Bucs!
Great show as always, I love Fred growth .
You can here D.C. all in his speech!
I didn't know it until reading the comments... Not one "Jont'z" or "Slim" in anything he said! Lol! Big respect to him tho! I remember watching the super bowl and thinking how much I hate Pittsburgh, but sincerely enjoyed watching him succeed! Humble and respectful! Good man!
EDIT... I just went back and listened without watching... CURR-a-van... that CREW... Yeeeaaaaahhhhh, he DC to his soul!!
The level and depth of the questions give each guest a chance to tell their story, to speak their truth and to give a side of themselves usually not expressed before. Bravo!
B. Left man. This guy is so solid man. My first time hearing him really sit down and learn who he is. Glad he got a chance to show the world the measure of the man he is. Yessir. Love this show.
Man i wish left didnt have that injury in the chip game. But that was the most courageous moment i ever seen. I just wish my boy Bobby Shaw had of stayed at jacksonvolle when left came so left would have somebody to throw to his rookie year. Oh well he'll get in the hof as a coach.
Really want my guy Chan to take some fashion advice. 😂😂😂
We love Byron here in Tampa. 💪 Good coach, cool as a cucumber. Future head coach.
RC is a great QB! The way he speaks with enthusiam and intergrity is just phenomenal for the Black Community. Watvhing formoer NFL players display there stories on this platform form is what the world needs. This God's work!!
Love Leftwich! Way back from the Jaguars days! Keep doing what you do LB. Proud of you! Great interview guys!
I really enjoy what they're doing on the Pivot, they've had another great and informative show. Having B Left on and getting to know know more about his journey has really been great to watch and I enjoyed it every moment of it. Kudos and thanks to Chan Chan the crazy man, Freaky Freddie, RC Cola Cool Clark & the Pivot production crew, y'all keep bringing it, keep on bringing it!!! We love what you're doing!!!
I’m a dc guy, and I’ve followed his career since he was young. A tremendous talent and football mind that I didn’t he had. Proud of him. Proud of him
Man after watching this interview, I really wish Jacksonville would have hired Byron. Man he would have been a great coach for us.
Jags suck , eternally suck
Agreed. But I’m glad we got Doug and not a nut job
@@aoclive6710 even though they didn’t hire BLeft they still hired a good coach
If he would've took over a franchise like the Jags (non winning) Leftwich would be crucified saying he can't coach etc...
Mannnnn, what y’all are doing here is forever legendary and EVERY episode I’m GLUEEDD!!!!! Great to see this guys! Keep it up!!! And Thank you!!!
Is South East in the house say what not “hell yea”!!!! Glad to see what you have become, coming from where your from Byron. Your an inspiration to kids in all our inner cities 👍🏾
Yo that Marshall story brings real tears of joy to my eyes!! I Love this guy! Glad his my coach. Go Bucs!!! And big up DMV!!!
One of the best episodes!!!!
BL IS LEGIT (Will be a head coach one day)!!!
Are we gonna ignore the fact IAA tried to take this training camp idea? Looked, sounded and felt horrible! Shady might be single handedly saving IAA!! I’ve liked pac man’s progression in it too but this Pivot podcast is AMAZING!! This is the one!!
That’s a real good dude fareal. Never over excited and he was a baller under rated
Grew up in Huntington and met Byron at a cub scouts meet and greet when he was at Marshall. I remember being in awe at how big they all were lol. He actually signed my arm cast, whole team did, but that’s gone now, wish I kept it!
It's a crime that with the overwhelming success of Leftwich and Bienemy in the league that they're not leading a team. I truly hope they get their opportunity..
it’s not a crime .. unfortunate! yea, but no crime … just another tangible thing to look at that proves why we should create our own league(s)
Y'all really putting way too much on a good coordinator with a goat player. Calm down. You're gonna turn him into a good offensive coordinator into a horrible head coach.
The best thing for Bienemy do to is to sit tight in KC. Andy Reid cannot coach forever. No way should he opt for a rebuilding team.
@@cperkins5050 by the time Andy done it will be a rebuilding job! Then they might not hire him any way?
