On this episode of the podcast, we talk to Zenner about his crazy 2019 season, how he stayed positive in the midst of being released multiple times, how his faith in Jesus became real during his time in college, and what he envisions himself doing in 10 years.
Thank you Detroit for a fun 4 years! I am thankful for my teammates, the organization, and the fans. I will miss you all, but I am excited to see what the future holds. Romans 8:28; it's all for my good!
