## Resource

Rod and Pat lead the charge on interviewing the singular Donte Whitner. He shares his story and it is truly the stuff of legends. From an injury at an incredibly young age and being told he could NEVER play sports, to an extremely challenging childhood, and thanks to his gut, grit, his mother, and Ted Ginn Sr., he made is way to THE Ohio State University and eventually the NFL. They dive into great detail with it all in only the way Donte can. And then, they finish with current 49ers topics: Brandon Aiyuk, free safety issues and more.
