Jacob Harris's journey doesn't look like most NFL players' stories. And that's exactly what makes it powerful.

A fifth-year NFL wide receiver and Super Bowl LVI champion with the Los Angeles Rams, Jacob's path to professional football started with an unusual transition: from soccer to football at UCF. He entered the NFL as a raw but high-upside prospect, worked his way onto a championship team, and when the opportunities shifted, he didn't quit — he joined the San Antonio Brahmas in the UFL in 2025, continuing to prove his versatility and dedication to the game.

Jacob's journey is defined by one thing: relentless perseverance.

In this episode of The Standard Podcast™, we dive into:

• The biggest lie culture sold athletes about what "making it" means
• How Jacob built identity through adversity and uncertainty
• What perseverance really looks like when the path gets hard
• Transitioning from soccer to football and learning a new sport at the college level
• Winning a Super Bowl and what that moment meant beyond the ring
• Continuing to compete in the UFL and refusing to give up on the game
• Advice for high school, college, and aspiring pro athletes chasing their dreams

Whether you're grinding for a scholarship, fighting for a roster spot, or navigating what's next after your playing days — Jacob's story will remind you that your path doesn't have to look like everyone else's.

This is raw. This is real. This is the truth athletes need to hear.
