Duck Hodges: NFL Stories, Duck Hunts & Launching Club Country (Ep 754)
He’s a former NFL quarterback, a lifelong outdoorsman, a junior world duck‑calling champion, a YouTube creator, and now the founder of a new lifestyle brand. Today’s guest is the one and only Devlin “Duck” Hodges.
Hosts Matt Harrison and Jimbo Robinson sit down with Duck for a wide‑open conversation covering everything from his days with the Pittsburgh Steelers to his passion for duck hunting, bowhunting, faith, family, and building his new brand — Club Country — which connects the hunting/outdoor lifestyle with the golf world.
In this episode:
- How he got the nickname “Duck” (and why he hated it at first)
- Breaking Steve McNair’s passing record at Samford
- The wild moment he got thrown into his first NFL game
- What it was like hunting with Peyton Manning, Luke Bryan & others
- The YouTube boom and why he wants to be a positive influence for new hunters
- How Club Country was born — and why it bridges golf + outdoors
- Balancing business, hunting, and planning a wedding with Lainey Wilson
- His favorite hunts, biggest lessons, and where he’s headed next
If you’re a football fan, a duck hunter, or someone who loves the outdoor lifestyle, this is one of the most fun, wide‑ranging episodes of the season.
