This week on Glory Daze, Johnny is joined by Wisconsin and Chargers legend, Melvin Gordon. Join us for a thought-provoking conversation between two college football icons as they share stories about their times on and off the field. First, Johnny and Melvin dive into how the NFL has historically underpaid running backs and how they are undervalued throughout the league. This leads to a conversation about Melvin’s debacle of leaving the Chargers and ultimately having no choice but to play for the Broncos. To reflect on greener pastures, Melvin talks about his 2014 season and how he came just short of breaking Barry Sanders’ rushing record. He was also the runner-up for the 2014 Heisman Trophy, which argues the question if he was overlooked for playing with the Badgers. Following up, Melvin shares stories about Philip Rivers and what it was like to play with one of the all-time greats at the Quarterback position. Melvin credits a lot of his improvement in his early career to Philip and how he taught him how to be a complete back. Melvin cherished his time with the Chargers and the teammates he got to share the field with. To wrap the conversation up, Melvin talks about his transition from football into new endeavors. He is apart of the brand “Vibez Golf Club”, which he is running with some of his great friends to change the way golf is viewed. The goal is to unbutton the traditional mindset of golf being a status sport and allowing the younger generation to enjoy the game in their own way. Johnny and Melvin talk about the ongoing Tiger Woods saga and bring attention to Tiger’s mental health and how he might need help from those around him. Finally, Melvin answers the One Word Question that describes his Glory Daze.

Diego Pavia sits down with Johnny for a conversation that feels more like two boys catching up than a formal interview. They start by talking about how their paths first crossed, how that friendship formed, and what it’s like watching each other navigate the chaos that comes with big moments and bigger expectations in football.

He reflects on the season that put him on the national map, the doubts people still had, and the frustration of feeling overlooked when the Heisman conversation came around. The conversation then turns to the NFL Draft and the strange in-between stage Diego finds himself in — training, waiting, hearing feedback, and trying to tune out the noise while his future hangs in the balance. Johnny relates, drawing parallels to his own pre-draft experience and the emotional whiplash that comes with projections, expectations, and uncertainty. They talk about confidence, chip-on-the-shoulder motivation, and how being counted out can either break you or fuel you.

Randall Cobb joins Johnny Manziel on Glory Daze to look back on the moments that defined his career. He takes Johnny inside his years in Green Bay, sharing what it was like catching passes from Aaron Rodgers, the chemistry that made their connection so dangerous, and the “what ifs” that still linger around the Packers’ near-dynasty. From playoff heartbreak to unforgettable nights at Lambeau Field, Cobb reflects on an era that came close to rewriting NFL history. No Packers story is complete without the rivalry, and Cobb has plenty to say about beating the Bears and keeping that tradition alive with memorable performances. He and Johnny talk about what it meant to wear the green and gold, how the expectations of Packers fans shaped him as a player, and the responsibility that comes with being part of one of the league’s most storied franchises. The conversation blends football history with inside-the-huddle perspective that fans rarely get to hear. The episode also rewinds to Cobb’s Kentucky days, where he became one of the SEC’s most versatile playmakers and went head-to-head with Cam Newton.

Shawne Merriman joins Johnny Manziel for Episode 6 of Glory Daze to revisit one of the most loaded and unforgettable teams of the 2000s — the San Diego Chargers. From 2004 to 2009, the Chargers were stacked with stars like LaDainian Tomlinson, Philip Rivers, and Antonio Gates, and Merriman was at the heart of it all as one of the most feared pass rushers in the NFL. He reflects on the team's dominance, the locker room culture, and why they never quite reached the Super Bowl despite being considered the most talented roster of the decade. Merriman shares what it was like being on the field when LT broke the single-season rushing touchdown record, and gives rare insight into what made that team so dangerous — and what ultimately held them back.
