In the US the Superbowl kicks off on Sunday night (Monday in NZ) and New Zealander Rikki Ellison will know exactly how the players are feeling ahead of the massive event.
Rikki was the first New Zealander to ever play in the NFL and went on to win three Superbowls. He's also part of the well known sporting whānau which also produced star rugby players Tamati Ellison and Jacob Ellison.
Rikki talks to Jesse about his sporting career and life outside of NFL which has led him to work in missile defence advocacy.
