D.J. Shockley currently works in television broadcasting as an analyst for the SEC Network, but he also does lots of other local television and digital things in his hometown market of Atlanta, Georgia.

Shockley was a highly recruited quarterback out of high school, then starred in the position at the University of Georgia. A pro football career followed with the Atlanta Falcons before transitioning into his broadcasting career.

Shockley takes his business seriously, and he uses the skills he learned as an athlete like preparation to help him in his current career. 

In addition to talk of loyalty and leadership, we'll also get a funny story about his recruitment out of high school. We'll get another funny story about a friendly wager with a pro football teammate over a college football rivalry.
