In this can't-miss episode of The Fish Tank, O.J. McDuffie and Seth Levit sit down with Miami Dolphins legend and Pro Football Hall of Famer, Jason Taylor, for an epic deep dive into stories only he can tell. From his infamous practice tirade under Nick Saban to a 2006 season packed with iconic plays—including a jaw-dropping pick-six he called before the snap—JT opens up like never before.

Taylor reflects on what it meant to be named Nick Saban’s most impactful player, raising three athlete children, and grinding through a 12-sack season with two torn plantar fascia. Whether you’re a Dolphins diehard, a football junkie, or a fan of elite leadership and preparation, this is The Fish Tank at its finest.

Contributors to this episode include Sevach Melton and The Honorable SoLo D (Theme song).
