In this week's episode of "Journey to Greatness," we hear from Steve Largent, one of the NFL's all-time greatest receivers. Largent played for the Seattle Seahawks from 1976 to 1989 and held numerous major NFL receiving records at the time of his retirement. Despite not comparing physically to today's receivers, Largent's work ethic propelled him to become one of the game's best players in the 1980s. He emphasizes the importance of hard work and dedication, both on and off the field. Largent credits his high school coach, Jerry Potter, for recognizing his potential and moving him from running back to wide receiver. Potter's work ethic and emphasis on preparation inspired Largent to excel in football and all aspects of life. Today, Largent continues to apply the lessons he learned from football to his career in politics and the private sector, highlighting the value of preparation, teamwork, and humility.
