Charlie Ward is the only Heisman Trophy winner to play in the NBA, but that distinction is just a small part of his story.

Join us today on the Games People Play podcast as Bernie Corbett welcomes the former Sullivan Award winner to discuss his unique path in life, including his ever-evolving faith in God, learning assertiveness from his older sister and the complex college recruiting challenges he faced as a two-sport star at Thomas County Central High School in Georgia.

You’ll hear about Charlie’s magnificent career at Florida State, which included a National Championship in football and a trip to the Elite-Eight in basketball, as well as what ultimately led him to choose the NBA over the NFL. Plus: living in the city as a New York Knick; playing in the 1999 NBA Finals, and which current NFL quarterback most reminds him of himself. Finally, Charlie recounts the details of his 2018 stroke while on a church mission in Mexico and his family’s many charitable endeavors benefitting youth sports, the elderly and hurricane relief victims.
