Beyond the Game: Clinton Portis on Perseverance, Brand Partnerships, and the Future of NIL



In this episode of Beyond the Influence, host Tueré Rodriguez sits down with former NFL running back, Delaware State Hornets coach, and Washington’s 80 of All Time Clinton Portis to discuss everything from lessons on perseverance and hard work to the world of brand partnerships and endorsements.

Portis discusses his journey from the gridiron to the sidelines – before, during, and after his NFL career –  what he looks for in brand partnerships, and his take on NCAA athletes profiting off their name, image, and likeness (NIL) through endorsements. He provides his insights as well as his advice for the next generation of elite athletes.
