Christchurch-born Riki Ellison (Ngāi Tahu) was the first New Zealander to play American football professionally in the United States and the first to win a Super Bowl.
He won three during his time with the San Francisco 49ers in the 1980s before launching his non-profit, the Missile Defence Advocacy Alliance.
Riki joins Jesse to discuss his Māori roots and fascinating family ties, plus what it's like to play in a Super Bowl.
