On Wednesday, former Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Matt Cassel joined Zach Brook’s “Upon Further Review” podcast, talking about the NFL offseason and the teams that made his career.

In his appearance, Cassel came across as a guy who is grateful for every opportunity he’s received — and enjoyed his ride through college and the NFL, where he carved out a pretty nice 14-year, $65 million career.
