92%ers we are a little late but we are back with another episode of New Heights presented by our friends at Fireball. In this episode, we are joined by maybe the most interesting man in the world, former Army Ranger turned Pro-Bowl left tackle for the Pittsburgh Steelers Alejandro Villanueva. In our incredible conversation with Alejandro, we get the back story on what happened when he was cut from the Eagles, why he thinks the NFL Regional Combine is a scam, how he gained almost 100lbs to play for the Steelers, what it was really like going up against Jame Harrison in practice every day, and why Mike Tomlin might be selling himself short. We also touch on his time in the US Army and his path to playing football at West Point, what it was really like to serve three tours in Afghanistan, and how he became an Army Ranger. As always, watch and listen to new episodes of New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce every Wednesday & check us out on Instagram, Twitter, and Tik Tok for all the best moments from the show. One final programming note. We will be dropping our video from the first ever New Heights Beer Bowl next week, so subscribe and turn your notifications on so you don’t miss it.
