About JJ Birden
Like a fabled long-shot story and underdog tale, JJ Birden was The Small Man in the Big Man’s Game of Football.
After earning a scholarship to the University of Oregon for track and field (plus being the #1 high school wide receiver in Oregon), JJ also earned a walk-on spot with the football team his sophomore year. His trials were only just beginning though, and he was faced with many naysayers, followed by a cycle of injuries, and unimpressive stats.
JJ’s hard work, grit, speed, and resiliency were enough to eventually earn him the invite to the NFL Combine, where he dominated. His performance earned him an NFL draft pick, and he was on his way, or so he thought. Another series of injuries and failed physicals culminated in one of the darkest moments in JJ’s early career; JJ was rejected by 4 NFL teams in 5 days.
He could have walked away from the game and given up hope in spite of what seemed like insurmountable odds, but JJ did not even flinch. Instead, he did what he’s always done when faced with adversity, he found a way to win.
Despite a height of only 5’10 and weighing in at 157 lbs. (versus the typical 6’2 and 245 lbs. of his peers) JJ would go on to play 9 seasons in the NFL, crushing the average player's career of less than 2 years.
He is now a dynamic keynote speaker and performance coach, helping individuals and teams overcome obstacles, stay focused under pressure, and take ownership of their success. As a best-selling author, entrepreneur, husband and father, JJ shares real-world lessons from his NFL career and personal life, proving that success isn’t given, it’s earned. Through his message, he inspires audiences of all backgrounds to rise, respond, and beat the coverage in every area of life.
