Yahya Black on Earning Respect in the NFL | The Christian Kuntz Podcast - Season 2, Ep. 3

Описание: What’s up, everyone? The Christian Kuntz Podcast is back with Season 2 Episode 3, and this week, we’re joined by Yahya Black, rookie defensive lineman for the Pittsburgh Steelers. And let’s get it straight—it’s Yahya, not Yaya (sorry, Christian’s grandma 👵).

Yahya’s journey is one of grit, humility, and pure work ethic—from growing up in a small farm town in Minnesota to anchoring Iowa’s legendary D-line, and now stepping into Pittsburgh’s storied defensive legacy.

🔥 In this episode, we dive into:
✅ Growing up in Marshall, MN and embracing small-town toughness
✅ His path to Iowa and why he turned down Minnesota
✅ What makes Iowa’s football culture so special—and so brutal
✅ Adjusting to NFL life, OTAs, and learning from Cam Heyward
✅ The real Combine experience (spoiler: he hated it)
✅ His thoughts on Pittsburgh, the fans, and that legendary D-line tradition
✅ Why he’s already taking extra reps, studying film, and playing with something to prove

Yahya brings humor, humility, and a dog mentality to the conversation. If you love football from the trenches, or want to hear what it’s like stepping into the NFL as a rookie, this episode is for you.
