THIS IS EPISODE 222 OF THE SPORTS SPECTRUM PODCAST

Jason Avant was selected by the Eagles in the fourth round of the 2006 NFL Draft out of Michigan. The wide receiver played eight seasons in Philadelphia, catching passes from Donovan McNabb, Michael Vick and Nick Foles. After his tenure with the Eagles ended in 2013, he finished his career with Carolina and Kansas City before retiring following the 2015 season.

Avant played in eight playoff games with Philadelphia, including the 2008 NFC championship game against the Arizona Cardinals.

On this episode of the podcast, we talk with Avant about being a spiritual leader in the Eagles locker room, reading through the Bible with his quarterback (Foles) in 2013, serving in youth ministry during his time in Philadelphia, and coming to faith in Christ during his time in college.
