What does it take to go from undrafted free agent… to Super Bowl champion… to successful healthcare entrepreneur?

In this episode of Sports ’N Torts, Joshua Stein sits down with former NFL safety Andrew Adams, Super Bowl champion with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and founder of Pro Level Recovery, alongside respected Georgia workers’ compensation attorney Heather Froy.

Andrew shares the gritty reality of making an NFL roster as an undrafted player, what it was like winning a Super Bowl during the COVID season, and the mindset that separates elite performers from everyone else.

Then the conversation shifts to life after football — how Andrew transitioned into business, acquired and rebranded his father’s physical therapy practice, and built a one-stop injury recovery center that serves both athletes and everyday injured clients.
