NFL running back and ranch owner Deejay Dallas joins the Like A Farmer Podcast to talk about the surprising connection between football and ranching, and why the lessons learned on the land have made him a better player on the field. Deejay shares his passion for raising cattle, the work ethic that's fueled both his ranch and his NFL career, and why one of the first major purchases he made with his NFL paycheck wasn't a luxury car, it was Wagyu cattle. The conversation also covers growing up and playing for University of Miami under Coach Mark Richt, the moment he realized the NFL was a real possibility, great stories about Greg Olsen, his Mount Rushmore of NFL players, and whether the Jacksonville Jaguars can win it all in 2026. From the football field to the ranch, Deejay proves that success isn't just measured by touchdowns. It's built through discipline, hard work, and investing in what matters most.
