Chad: Favorite pizza topping?

Von Miller: Pepperoni

Chad's Follow Up: Pepperoni is great and I rank it as my second favorite meat topping. I'll always choose sausage before pepperoni but in my opinion you can't go wrong either way.

Danny: Favorite sack of all time?

Von Miller: Tom Brady in the AFC Championship

Danny's Follow Up: Tom Brady is a hard guy to sack. He is the goat.

Chad: Dogs or Cats?

Von Miller: Dogs

Chad's Follow Up: Well, I've got our girl Perdi (dog) sitting here next to me and she has my heart but I really like cats too. I think they're both great.


Danny: Favorite sport of all time (other than football)?

Von Miller: I like watching basketball. I always thought I could be a point guard in the NBA.

Danny's Follow Up: It's possible that he could have played. You can do anything you want. He's pretty tall and fast.


Danny: Pool or Ocean?

Von Miller: Ocean. I love to fish. I love to hunt. I love being outdoors. The ocean would have to be where it's at.

Danny's Follow Up: I say ocean too. I like fish a lot and it feels good in the ocean if it's a really hot day.

Danny and I took another visit to the @orangebowl 🍊 Athlete Lounge and we got to ask questions Broncos and NFL legend Von Miller. I believe this was our second time interviewing a Super Bowl MVP (Peyton Manning). Von was quick to jump in and answer our questions and I love that he commented on Danny's glasses. It's always nice to see a high profile guy wearing glasses. Danny loves his and to have Von compliment him on his was special. We had a great time in our 60 seconds with Von and we tried to take advantage of it as best we could. Thanks to Capital One, Orange Bowl, and Fangage for the opportunity!

Eric Ebron: Basketball

Chad's Follow Up: Basketball was always my favorite sport to play. Believe it or not this guy had some skills on the basketball court too and can still bring them out when needed. I know Mike and Eric have some high level basketball experience and it would be a great matchup to see them play one on one.

Danny: Favorite healthy food?

Mike Evans: Celery and ranch

Eric Ebron: None

Danny's Follow Up: Eric's answer was confusing because I thought you were supposed to eat healthy foods to be ready for the game. He probably eats healthy but he might not like those foods. I've never had celery and ranch so I don't know how good they are.

Chad: What was your favorite sports team growing up?

Mike Evans: Miami Heat

Eric Ebron: Boston Celtics, New York Giants

Chad's Follow Up: In this case, you love who you love. You definitely can't go wrong with the Heat and the Celtics are obviously winners with the most NBA championships all time. The Giants come in with four Super Bowls too.

Danny: What was your favorite school subject?

Mike Evans: Math

Eric Ebron: Lunch

Danny's Follow Up: Math, recess and lunch are all tied for me and PE because they are all goat. Recess, lunch, and PE give you a break from the other subjects and they are really fun.

Danny and I took a visit to the @orangebowl 🍊 Athlete Lounge and we got to ask questions to @mikeevans and @ericebron ! We had 60 seconds and we took advantage of every one 😀 Thanks to Mike and Eric for the interaction and for answering our rapid fire questions. We love to hear their answers and I know Danny is going to be drinking even more water now that Mike and Eric mentioned it's the best. Thanks guys! We wish them both good luck in the playoffs as they both chase their first Super Bowl title. #vincentsgo3on3 Thank you @fangageinc and Capital One Orange Bowl for the sweet opportunity!

1) Ray Lewis is a Hall of Fame linebacker who played 17 seasons in the National Football League for the Baltimore Ravens. 

2) Ray is a 2-time Super Bowl Champion, Super Bowl MVP XXXV, 13x Pro Bowler, and widely considered the best Baltimore Ravens player ever.

3) Lewis was selected in the first round (26th overall) of the 1996 NFL Draft by the Baltimore Ravens. Ray Lewis attended University of Miami for three seasons before forgoing his final year of eligibility to play in the NFL.

Danny: What is your favorite Monday Night Football experience?

Ray Lewis: Ooh, that's a really good one. He's not going to like me for telling this story but we played the Denver Broncos on Monday night. They (Broncos) were kicking a long field goal and we practiced this play all the time Danny to where if the field goal is too short, you catch it and the DB or somebody fast runs with it. On the other side it's just offensive lineman, kickers, and punters. Chris McCallister got the ball and I started running back towards him and I'm looking back at him saying "Come out of the end zone." A guy by the name of Keith Burns...he was not looking. This is back when you could put that Bobby Boucher on him. When I hit Keith Burns it was probably one of the best hits that I had in my career. That was on Monday night and I'll never forget that it played for nearly a month straight. That was my favorite Monday night memory for sure!

NOTE: We found this play and you can check it out on YouTube HERE and Ray's block takes place around the 1:12 mark.

Danny's Follow Up: That was a really big hit. That looked like it would have hurt Keith Burns really bad but he did get up quick. That touchdown play by the Ravens was really cool.

Danny has loved the opportunity to go LIVE with his football heroes even during quarantine. Thanks to Emmitt Smith and his Notable Live platform, Danny has talked to the NFL's all-time leading rusher 4 times from our living room this season and had the chance to go 1 on 1 with Ray Lewis and show him part of his pregame dance. That moment was priceless!

Below is a look below with Danny and Emmitt Smith talking about how Emmitt got his famous number 22. Check out the awesome interaction between these two earlier this season!

Marcus Johnson - Indianapolis Colts

A big thank you to BamFam Foundation for giving Danny another virtual camp to look forward to over Zoom. On Saturday June 21st, D went to work at Indianapolis star WR Marcus Johnson's virtual camp and it was another amazing experience. Just minutes before the camp started, the rain started to come down heavy and we moved it inside. Without a good amount of space, he decided to take it outside and tough it out in the rain. 

Danny got a ton of individualized instruction from Marcus which was just what he needed to help him get more confidence with each drill. Not only did Danny work hard throughout the camp but he even earned the Camper of the Day award and a prize pack. 

To top it all off he got to take part in his favorite portion of camp, the Q and A session. Here is a look at Marcus answering Danny's question below!

Next up for Danny and his BamFam camps is Darian Thompson (Dallas Cowboys Safety) Camp on Monday night, July 13th!

Laquon Treadwell - Atlanta Falcons

This quarantine has provided us new opportunities and ways to dive into our passions. Thanks to BamFam Foundation Danny and kids all across the country can do FREE football camps with NFL stars in their own backyard or home via Zoom. On Saturday June 6th, he attended camp with @atlantafalcons star WR Laquon Treadwell (@successfulquon) and it was awesome. Hearing Laquon yelling “Good job Danny” through the computer and pushing him through was special and motivated him through the tough workout to finish strong.

He got a great workout in and learned from one of the best. The post camp Q and A was just as fun and of course he got a few questions in. Danny is looking forward to attending more camps this summer with his big brother Jordan! If you are looking to get your kids a great workout and if they love football, I highly suggest you check out BAMPRandMARKETING football camps. (They'll even send your camper FREE gear!)

Here is a look at Laquon answering Danny's question below!

Danny: I know that you are the fastest man in the NFL. Did you ever get caught playing tag games in school?

John Ross: 

Danny's Follow Up: The last time I ran the 40 yard dash I ran 7.9 seconds. I bet he (John Ross) was so fast was at 9. I know one kid at my school who might be as fast as him. 

Danny was very lucky to have the opportunity to interview the fastest man in the NFL, John Ross. ProCamps hosted a live #ProTalks series along with digital autograph website Fangage and they invited young fans to take part in the show by asking questions. Social distancing has made the #vincentsgo3on3 boys get more creative on how we interact with our sports heroes and ProCamps and Fangage has come to the rescue. 

The photo above shows Danny in his room all set up to talk to John. Danny's question was awesome and John went into great detail about never getting caught playing tag and challenging kids from other schools to races. He said he never lost one of those one on one races...and we're not sure if he ever will. John is the fastest man in the NFL and we know he's looking forward to making a big impact this upcoming season. He'll likely have a new QB throwing his way this fall and our family is excited to see him catching GO routes and taking them to the house.

Check out Danny's photo below that was digitally signed by John Ross!

Jordan: Hey Jared! There have been a great group safeties to play at Alabama over the years like my favorites Ha Ha Clinton-Dix and Eddie Jackson.

Did you feel any pressure following them and have you had a chance to learn from any former safeties during your time at Alabama??

Jared Mayden: 

Jordan was fortunate to have the opportunity to interview Jared thanks to ProCamps and their live #ProTalks series. Since the start social distancing due to the spread of the coronavirus, the #vincentsgo3on3 boys have had to get creative on how we interact with our sports heroes. Fortunately, ProCamps has provided us with daily live interviews for us to look forward to each weekday. 

Jared had a great response to Jordan's question and provided further proof that once you play for Alabama, you are family. The older players seem to stay connected to the younger players who are trying to pave their own way and they offer up their advice and tips so they can to see Alabama's success continue for years to come.
