AJ Hawk’s brothers Ryan, and Brady Hawk, were raised in Ohio with their little brother. Ryan is a former quarterback of Ohio and Miami University.

The former NFL linebacker AJ was raised in a competitive environment with two brothers. But they do admit it was always the little brother who would always come out on top in athleticism.

So, when AJ made it to the NFL, it didn't shock his family, as hard work had always been the core value of the Hawk family. After his retirement in 2017, AJ decided to take the podcast route. 

The former Green Bay Packers player appears in the Show and also regularly appears in his brother Ryan’s podcast.
