The Jenni Carlson Show: The Oklahoma native talks about the scariest moments of the parade tragedy, the three years he spent out of football after college and the field goal to send the Super Bowl to overtime.

James Winchester spent three years out of football after finishing up his eligibility at OU. But a decision to attend a special teams tryout camp — and spend several hundred dollars on it instead of his upcoming wedding — changed the trajectory of his life. Now a three-time Super Bowl champion, the Kansas City long snapper talks about his road from Washington, Oklahoma, to the top of the football mountain.
