Digging Deep with Mark Sutcliffe

Football hall of famer, three-time Grey Cup winner, broadcaster, and now assistant coach for the Chicago Bears of the National Football League, Henry Burris leads teams to championships through discipline, devotion, and a positive attitude. In this conversation, he talks about overcoming early setbacks in his career, proving people wrong, determining your own outcome, being scrutinized as a Black athlete, finding a source of motivation, having a winning mentality, the payoff to investing in yourself and others, and the principles behind his family's hustle award. He also shares the momentous story of the last pass of his playing career, and why he wears his wedding ring instead of his three Grey Cup rings.
