Dale Earnhardt Jr. sat down with Will Compton and Taylor Lewan of Barstool’s Bussin’ With The Boys. They discussed Will and Taylor’s early days as college football players, giving Dale, who never went to college, a glimpse into the student-athlete experience. Taylor talked about the chaos of the NFL combine and shared his NFL draft night experience, while Will shared the origin story of the Bussin’ With The Boys podcast and finding the iconic bus. The group also talked about the injuries Will and Taylor encountered during their careers, including an injury that left Taylor heartbroken. Will shared why he turned down the New York Jets late in his career and discussed playing alongside Taylor at the Tennessee Titans. They also shared a hilarious story of the time they played against each other on the football field, now known as “The Bussin’ Bowl.” The conversation ended with Dale, Will, and Taylor sharing how they became friends. This episode is the longest DJD episode so far this year for a good reason. You won’t want to miss it.
