Ep 40- James Winchester, Long Snapper for the Kansas City Chiefs

THIS WEEK'S GUEST: JAMES WINCHESTER On this week's episode of The Maggie Williams Podcast, we're chatting with a dedicated husband, father, and outdoorsman who is working hard on the field when he isn't hunting in the field; James Winchester, long snapper for the Kansas City Chiefs and 3x Super Bowl Champion. Originally from Washington, Oklahoma, James has built a remarkable career in the NFL as a trusted long snapper for the Chiefs. Since joining the team in 2015, he’s been an essential part of their special teams unit, contributing to multiple Super Bowl victories. With 18 career playoff wins, he’s currently tied with Travis Kelce for fifth-most all-time playoff wins in NFL history. Off the field, James is just as passionate about hunting—from chasing ducks in the marsh to bowhunting midwest whitetail and wild turkeys—and he’s passing down his love for the outdoors to his 7-year-old son, Jase. Inside This Episode: • James’ journey to the NFL – Did he always plan to be a long snapper? How did a small-town boy from Oklahoma find longevity within the sport and establish his career as a professional football player? • Hunting & football crossover – The mental toughness, strategy, and patience required for both. • Duck hunting – James' history as a duck hunter and his passion for the sport. • Turkey hunting – Turkey hunting strategies, James' ambitions of a grand slam, and his turkey hunting plans for the spring. • Deer hunting – Bow vs. rifle, dream hunt destinations, and management practices. • Passing down the tradition – His son Jase’s first hunts, favorite moments, and the lessons he’s excited to teach. From winning on the field to winning in the woods, this episode is packed with football, hunting, and family traditions. Don’t miss it!
