Liner notes

From the halls of Archbishop Rummel to the NFL, Taylor Russolino’s road to professional football was anything but conventional. 🏈⚜️


On this episode of Coyle CHAOS ⚜️🌴 Podcast, I’m sitting down with someone I’ve known LONG before either of us imagined we'd be having this conversation behind microphones. Taylor and I go all the way back to our high school days at Archbishop Rummel in Metairie.


And his story is a hell of a story.


Taylor didn’t even start playing football until his senior year of high school. What followed was a journey from Rummel to Millsaps College, arena and indoor football, China, the CFL, the XFL, the Denver Broncos and ultimately an XFL Championship with the Arlington Renegades.


But this conversation goes way beyond a football résumé.


We talk about the YEARS of grinding when there was no guarantee another opportunity was coming, being overlooked and cut, playing around the world, the 58-yard field goal that helped put him on the national radar, getting the call from the NFL, what it actually felt like walking onto an NFL field, winning a professional championship, and the mental pressure that comes with being a kicker when one play can define your entire day.


And because Taylor and I knew each other before any of that happened, we also take it back to where it all started: Metairie, Rummel, old stories, growing up, and what success looks like now compared to what we thought it looked like back then.


Sometimes the road to where you're supposed to be looks NOTHING like the road you imagined.


Taylor Russolino just kept kicking. 🎯


This one is about perseverance, betting on yourself, and refusing to let somebody else decide when your dream is over.
