Welcome to Hometown Jax, where hosts Aaron Bacus and Jason Kindler sit down with local leaders, entrepreneurs, and legends to explore their journeys, challenges, and the impact they make in Northeast Florida. Whether it’s sports, business, or personal transformation, this podcast highlights the stories that shape the people who shape Jacksonville.

In this episode, Aaron interviews Marc Edwards, a former Notre Dame standout and NFL fullback who now calls Jacksonville home. Marc shares his remarkable rise from small-town Ohio to college football stardom and a nine-year NFL career, including a Super Bowl win with the Patriots. He opens up about the recruiting chaos of the pre-cellphone era, learning from Lou Holtz, and the moment he unknowingly saved Drew Bledsoe’s life. Now an engaged father and businessman, Marc reflects on what he’s carried forward from football, what drives him today, and how he’s redefining life after the league.
