Lavonte David Opens Up About Retiring From The NFL + What's Next For Him? | Bussin' With The Boys

Taylor Lewan and Will Compton are back with another STACKED episode of Bussin' With The Boys! This week's guest is Tampa Bay Buccaneers legend and one of the greatest linebackers to ever do it, Lavonte David. In the intro, Will and Lavonte discuss golf, fishing and favorite TV shows. Will announces Bussin’s upcoming spring tour dates hitting Texas Tech, Miami, and Notre Dame. Lavonte may even show up to Miami to kick it with the boys when they’re there.

Lavonte David’s interview begins with Will listing off all of his accolades, only to then try to bully Lavonte into admitting he was Will's little bro during their time together playing college football at Nebraska. Lavonte is NOT buying it and the argument gets heated. Carolina Panthers legend Luke Kuechly FaceTimes in to settle the 2013 Defensive Player of the Year debate once and for all, and the results might surprise you. Lavonte then calls Will out for never having a signed Willy C jersey from him, which is honestly criminal. Lavonte opens up about the moment he found out Tom Brady was coming to Tampa, what it was really like playing with Gronk, and how the locker room changed overnight when TB12 walked through the door. This episode has everything — beef, FaceTime ambushes, Super Bowl stories, and Harry Potter drama.
