The NFL Player Born Into the McDonald’s Potato Fortune

From his days as a standout high school athlete to earning $33 million in NFL contracts, McGovern’s journey reveals the clash between a multi-million dollar family business and a passion for sports.

This video dives deep into NFL contracts, the business of farming, and the challenges of building a legacy outside of generational wealth.
