“I wanted to throw footballs… but he wanted to play superheroes.” 😢
Adam gets emotional in this Unfiltered moment — a raw reflection on early fatherhood, expectations, and learning to let go. It’s about showing up for your kids as they are, not who you want them to be.
He’s the person I walked through the fire with — and came out stronger.
Now we’re telling the real story.
UNFILTERED with Jen Archuleta
Episode 1 – Adam Archuleta
From unrecruited walk-on at ASU to the highest-paid safety in the NFL, Adam’s story is one of grit, identity, and reinvention.
We talk about:
Playing alongside Pat Tillman
Concussions and mental health
Relationship struggles and redemption
Career pressure, fatherhood, and finding purpose beyond football
It’s honest, personal, and real.
PLUS: Pup of the Podcast – Meet Zion
Zion is a gentle soul who needs a forever home.
If you adopt him, the Archuleta family will donate $100 to help with supplies — because we believe in second chances for every living thing.
