Sitting down with not just one but two of the most influential Running Backs in the league, today Pivot episode is story of how two men from completely different backgrounds landed on same team competing for same position and ended up becoming family.
Detroit’s Jamaal Williams and Green Bay’s Aaron Jones sit with Ryan, Channing, and Fred for a conversation covering their football journey, growing as men on and off the field and how loss of loved ones has shaped their story.
For four seasons, Aaron and Jamaal were constants in the Green Bay Packers backfield before Jamaal settled for a two-year deal with the NFC North rival Detroit Lions in 2021. Aaron and Jamaal describe their relationship as more of “brothers” than friends.
Fred and Channing curiously ask how they maintained the brotherhood despite competing for same role on same team and even now that they are on rival teams. Jamaal talks about how the decision to leave Green Bay to go to the Lions was hard but in the end had to do what was best for him and his family.
One commonality that Aaron and Jamaal bonded over and share was having influential male figures in their life. For Aaron, his father and for Jamaal, it was his uncle/trainer. In an emotional conversation, Aaron and Jamaal open up about the recent loss of these men in their lives and how it’s affected them and changed their course of life.
Fred, someone both backs have looked up to, leans into the upbringing Aaron had as a military child and the influence his parents had on him as he discusses this past NFL season being an emotional rollercoaster due to grieving and his first without his father.
Ryan commends Jamaal on his recent breakout season with the Lions and talks with the young back about his emotional interviews this past year and dealing with so much emotion while playing football.
With one of the major NFL offseason storylines tracking where QB Aaron Rodgers lands, Aaron Jones talks about his teammate’s leadership and drive pushed him to be a better player on the field and understand more the impact of winning and how to handle disappointment. Jones said he doesn’t want to see Rodgers leave but is prepared for what the team may be like with his absence.
Similarly, Jamal says he’s received that same motivation from coach Dan Campbell and shares stories of his dual approach to get the team fired up.
With a trio of running backs sitting together, you know the show can’t end without Fred asking who their top 5 RBs currently in the league are and why.

Jamaal a real one. Always be true to yourself. As an introvert nerd myself, I felt every word he said. We're misunderstood. Even though we don't call or hang out all the time it's all love. Respect us for who we are, anime and all. Jamaal is truly my brother from another mother. Stay humble and down to earth loved one.
Same here
I'm not into anime but everything is the same for me. He spoke my language 😂🤣 I'm home 85% of the time. Replace anime with sports.
@@boston1976 Definitely into sports also, part of the running back fraternity. I was looked at as the "athlete" in my younger days but I was never comfortable being defined by sports when I have so much more to offer. I feel like Jamaal will do great things after football.
@Rob's Raider Recap I don't think people fully appreciate or understand introverted people. Jamaal is so me. People have a certain thought about athletes and he breaks the mold.
RRR,thx 4taking the time 2share ur experience..ur words felt&are soooo REAL&POWERFUL!! i pray u continue 2be strong in ur OWN philosophy about living&learning life..&continue 2do you..i do not know u,of course,but i respect you&Jamaal 4understanding&acknowledging that self-love is the 1st love..&the rest will all come together naturally..at least IMHO. Peace!☮️! JC, all da way in LA CA
Alot of people gloss over episodes like this because the guests in the title arent huge names yet, but this is one of the best episodes since they started in my opinion.
I agree, this was in my top 3.
I agree
I must agree with you friend i seen this...... episode couple days ago after watching the Emmitt Smith episode I didn't even think about looking at twice but now I'm watching it and I love it
Decent views tho
Totally agree. 💯
Fred rolling the ‘r’ in sombrero had me DYING. 😂😂😂
Jamal & Aaron are just Fred & Channing 10 yrs younger 😂😂😂
Exactly
20*
@@dakotabarton9390 10 & 20** 😏
@@jayo208 yeah you right lol I forget Chan so young sometimes lol
Lol
This episode is full of character, brotherhood, and genuine love. One of the best episodes I’ve ever watched in ANY podcast. Job well done @thepivotpodcast
Totally agree GM!! Awesome Podcast!!
Damn this episode not the first but made me shed a tear the relationship between these 2 brothers and not being afraid to to be there for one another was beautiful to watch
Jamaal Williams is the first guest to make Channing’s personality look normal 😂
Factz
💯😂they’ll be legends
Underrated comment
Channing would like henthai.
🤣🤣🤣
I could legit watch multiple episodes of Jamaal trying to explain nerd culture to Channing and Channing explaining being social to Jamaal lol. Both of them got great personalities. Only difference with them is Chan is a millennial and Jamaal is gen z, they grew up during different times
Jamal should have showed Channing the hentai.
Facts but anime live!!! Hahaha he just not educated a enough lol
Jamaal is actually a millennial as well. 1981-1996 is the time frame and Jamaal is a ‘95 baby.
@@JayWill-ti4ft that shit gets a lil bit a of wobbler after 94 😂
They need to do a miniseries where Jamaal and Channing watch anime together and he tries to explain it to him.
This was a OUTSTANDING episode y'all I fr love this show no gimmicks no bullshit just raw and genuine
I love when RC asks Fred’s question about the biggest pivotal moment in these peoples lives, he never neglects to give Fred his credit. That’s real stand up guy behavior
He could also let the man ask the damn question
@@DizzyGoat44, I agree with you!
RC has neglected several times to give credit to Fred. I have made several comments that he wasn't giving proper credit as the original question was not his.
No matter the guests the Pivot is always 🔥
Facts. When they had Jenner on I wasn’t even gone watch it but it might have been the best one
Jamal's personality is so refreshing. To hear him say he's a introvert sucks.. cause it's not common to watch someone so genuine and entertaining be themselves.
This is the show you watch to get to know the person not that player i love it
Man both these brothers may very well had been my favorite episode. Just a blessing to be able to see this.
Mannn protect Jamaal Williams at all cost!! lol Thank you for being your authentic nerdy self 🔥🔥 Love the pivot for bringing these two on the show 🙏🏿
This is up there as perhaps the best episode yet. Hilarious yet very emotional all in one. Loved Jamaal Williams already, but now I can appreciate Aaron Jones too
I just became a huge fan of Jamaal Williams. His so down to earth and funny. Go Jamaal!!!
One of the best episodes because of the love and brotherhood shown by grown black men. Rare to see something like this so i appreciate this episode a lot. Keep doing what you're doing Channing, Fred and Ryan! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Maybe it's rare on tv, movies or social media, however there's a Lot of that in real life, but the world chooses to see us brothas in a more negative light.
Two Gentlemen spreading love and positivity!!!
An example of true brotherhood borne out of respectful competition. Glad Jamaal found trust and genuine love from Aaron's family. It sounds like he's been burned and let down by people who were supposed to love and protect him unconditionally. This was a dope ass episode rooted in love and camaraderie.
This one of y’all’s best episodes so far I ain’t even gonna deny it. That was mad dope
Jamaal Williams is a national treasure…my guy must be protected at all cost!
The absolute love that Jamaal and Aaron showed that love, warmth and admiration for each other and family was extraordinary. I love watching the Pivot but this is top 2 of my favorite episodes
Nothing like non-blood brotherly love. Solid fxckin show y’all.
This is one of the best shows ever created every episode gives a different perspective helping people in many ways, sometimes it’s just good to talk.
I think so many people relate to Jamaal more than the hosts think. Im a introvert and I have my time where I go out to be social, but I also have my time where I like to spend time by myself. People may not understand that just because we are by ourselves, that doesn’t mean we are lonely, we just like to spend some time to ourselves. We also need time to charge up from the socializing we’ve been doing out there lol.
As a Packers fan and an anime fan, I really really enjoyed this episode, man. Jamaal is as genuine as they come, and Channing was just chilling 😂😂
Jamal Williams personality is fire
I love that Jamal is just himself!
when Jamaal spoke about anime and used NARUTO as an example, words fail me to describe how I felt. thank you J for that. growing up Naruto made me feel alive. his principles and what he had to go through was inspirational.
Bruh I’m 45 and I’ve been watching anime since 1986 and the character development, plot twist, and places of anime is way better than movies. Hell my mom is 75 and she’s watching it now😆
Jamaal did a pretty good job explaining but he also should've mentioned that the storylines are way better than most movies/shows out there. That would help everyone wrap their heads around anime a little better.
Damn Jamaal had me crying at the end and I was fighting it 😂😂😂
Real men cry bro. No shame, it cleanses the soul.
This was definitely worth watching! Two young black men chopping it up, lots of wisdom and knowledge. Thanks for another awesome interview!!
Like several people have said before, I love this podcast! These guys do an incredible job of bringing in and talking with people I know, thought I knew, and had no idea I needed to know! I look forward to each episode.
Jamaal had my stomach hurting! This was a bomb ass interview with both of these young men!
Wasn’t expecting much from this interview but wow very entertaining!!
A genuine bond like this is rare! Love to see positive things like this highlighted between brothers in such a cutthroat business. We need more of this!
Jamaal is such a joy and a good person IRL 🖤
It’s so rare that 2 teammates that play the same position come together, support each other and actual show out on the field. Show our to Jamal and AJ for being best friends/brothers for life!!!
Love to see these 2 Men so connected on and off the field with an unbreakable bond of Brotherhood. And wow, Jamaal is something different, so great to hear him express himself! Salute to the Pivot!!!
Loved getting to know both of these young men on a personal level. The Pivot can make anyone comfortable. Great episode 👏🏾
One of the things I I love about this show is that it gives Black men of different upbringings, sensibilities and personalities the opportunity to express themselves authentically. That's something we.need to see so much more.
I love podcasts where athletes aren't talking over each other,interrupting,gossiping, or hating on fellow brothas. Pivot is the best!!
Love how vulnerable they were ! I wish more men would openly express themselves.
The Pivot never disappoints.
GOATS !!! Aaron is really like that , HUMBLE !! GO PACK GO
The is nothing more priceless than original people coming together
It’s amazing you guys shows keep getting better and better. Truly amazing show. Listening to both of these guys talk about how much they mean to each other is awesome. I lost my dad couple years ago so that really hit home with me. Keep up the great work!
I don’t comment on things, but man I LOVED THIS!!!! They are real dudes who really LOVE EACH OTHER!
Wow this genuine conversation between 2 good friends made me Tear up .That is a sincere true friendship
damn for real true bromance this podcast had me in freaking tears much love boys
This episode warmed my heart fr, I wish I had some elders I could go have and have a barbershop like conversation about my life with. Everyone’s enjoying themselves while having serious conversations. Great job PIVOT!❤️
I felt both of their pain regarding to their losses, because I just lost my grandmother which was like my mother accept she didn't go into labor o. order for me to be here, but she labored for me to be who I am today. Then her sister passed within 30 days almost exact of one another 💔, so the end of the year and the beginning of this year has been a battle. I was crying with Jamal when he was crying@ the end of the game... that's a hurt that won't easily go away. I have to give Aaron his love for wearing the T for having Aaron Sombrero, because when I transported Green Bay to their game in Chicago and he came out of the hotel wearing that hat and I saw that it was a black man wearing that sombrero hat I was wondering what was going on🫣, but now I know.😂 It looked good on him too, just threw me off initially when I first saw it. I did compliment him tho🫶🏾. Thanks Pivot for another homerun!
Sorry4ur losses. Quick question how are you transporting the players, do u work for the packers?
@The few The proud Thanks for your condolences. I drove IL for a company that transported all the incoming away teams that played against the Bears as well as the NBA, NHL etc., so I've had the pleasure of meeting many athletes.
I really felt what Jamal was saying when describing his personality and how he's really just an introverted person. I've said some of those same statements verbatim when speaking with friends, family, even my girl
Hating on Freddie T for properly pronouncing "Sombrero" 😂
That was really good! Two positive young men who love each other and have mutual respect. His pivot was Jones family, amazing! This episode is my #2 favorite behind Mike T, so good!
Much love from the 915 SUNCITY EPTX chucotown keep up the great work guys love the pod
As a Packers fan I love Jamaal Williams. Glad to see him eat.♥
Another dope interview with 2 dope rb’s that show so much love and respect for each other and the hosts. These shows are getting better and better! Kudos to everyone ✊🏾
I relate with Jamaal Williams so much man , I don’t like being around people at all. Just want to go to work , come home play the game and watch sports 😅.
Beautiful brotherhood between Jones and Williams
Great show guys. Jamaal and Aaron you guys be blessed and good luck next season
I appreciate these two young me and the healthy expressions of emotional vulnerability along with the immense gratitude for one another.✊🏾❤️
What an amazing show and two great guest i begin laughing with tears coming toward the end it got special, and I had to hold back from having tears come down love the show!
You guys are so awesome once again you guys bring the Humanity to Superstars you show the world that they're just like everybody else you have hurts fears and insecurities the pivot is like a therapy session that will allow players to present themselves authentic and vulnerable thank you
lol yo these two are like a comedy duo… the serious guy + the wild and zany guy 😆
I absolutely love these brothers and I loved this episode of the pivot. I didn't even know who these guys were until now and I will never forget them and I will follow them from now on. It saddens me that when the world sees a black man it doesn't assume that he's anything like these brothers. They just want to lump us into a negative category as if we are all the same. Why not assume that we are all like these guys until proven otherwise??? These young men were who they are their whole lives. The money and Prestige of the NFL didn't make them who they are as people. There's good and bad in every bunch. So when you see two exceptional young black men don't think that it's an anomaly because it's not. God Bless
Another Great episode. Hands down. Love tf out of this show. Keep showing up
THIS IS MY FAVORITE PODCAST FOR REAL 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
It’s good to see and hear their are some good dude’s around! Great job 👏
Love this - loved seeing their relationship on display and for them to be authentically themselves in this space. Thank yall for curating special and brave spaces
Fred rolling his “R’s” 😂😂😂 hilarious!
Jamal looks like a young Mike Tyson 😄
This was a Beautiful Episode!!😪😊🙏💕💕
Episode full of funny moments while also grasping the importance of family and brotherhood…love it
Top 5 make you feel good podcast by the pivot.
Jamaal energy so authentic. Glad he a Lion💯
I love this Podcast!!! Every show it gets better and better.
I knew this interview was gonna be amazing when I saw the title and my expectations still got overly exceeded💯amazing episode man, I went thru hella emotions watching dis interview fr. Held back tears like a mf😂
Love this episode. Appreciate what you guys are doing. Detroit Lions fans love to see Jamal and here his thoughts. It’s funny how the guys who don’t want to talk are the ones you want to hear the most.
This one's gonna go viral fasho 😂 Love Jamaal man miss him in green bay
The HUMANITY of the PIVOT is immeasurable, and once again it is on display. I do not care for the episodes with CELEBRITIES or so-called, just down-to-earth, genuine human beings like Aaron Jones and Jamaal Williams, who share a real bond and fondness for one another.
This was a great show. Love the space the Pivot creates. When it's good, it's good. 💯
I wish y'all could understand how important Aaron Jones is to the El Paso sports community. Future NFL Walter Payton Man of the Year. Wonderful to see him re-up with Green Bay and solidify his place amongst the top RBs in the league today. Keep grinding AJ33!
Once again, best podcast out!
Love the show forever guys!
Aaron Jones reppin 915! Thank you for doing El Paso proud brother!
Amazing show! One of my favorites so far!
Absolutely one of my favorite episodes. I loved seeing their relationship off the field.
Jamall is me and I'm him. I fully understand his mindset.
Awesome conversation. Learned alot about those guys and their relationship. AWESOME
This show keeps getting better and better!
Another beautiful show ... brothers for life.
I truly enjoyed this episode. I went from laughter to tearing up and again back to laughter. Thank you to the Pivot Team.
👏🏾👏🏾 👏🏾👏🏾
What a beautiful friendship Aaron and Jamaal have 🙆♀️.
RC, Chan & Freaky Fred: the Pivot is the most genuine and has the BEST conversational interviews/podcast, anywhere. Period.
I am so happy to see young men who are so much more than athletes.
Aye boaa This episode touch my heart feel like I know these folks you hear 😭😭Blessing in they life and Football after🙏🏾
Second best episode by far. Love it how they watch out for each other and are there that's what brothers are for! First best episode is the kevin hart episode
Had me tearing up and everything lolol
Moist eyes here too 😂
Yoooooooooo, Jamal is me! Staying inside, playing video games, not wanting to talk, he is a true introvert and I love it!
Didn't know what to expect from this episode, but once again it resonated with my soul. You gentlemen are THEEEE Standard for podcast content. The realness and top tier conversation skills mixed with the guests always end up being therapeutic for us viewers in so many ways. Blessings upon Blessings to you guys and whatever you lay your hands upon. I appreciate all you do.
