TC Athlete Analyst Pegula chats with NFL's Jalen Mills

Published Feb 04, 2021

NFL strong safety Jalen Mills has joined Tennis Channel's Athlete Analyst team alongside world No. 64 Jessica Pegula. Their action-packed conversation covers everything from Super Bowl picks and GOAT comparisons to Mill’s upcoming free agency and how the coronavirus has affected their respective sports.

You may know Mills from his All-American days as a Louisiana State University Tiger, or from his 2017 Super Bowl championship win as a starting safety with the Philadelphia Eagles. If you are betting on the Super Bowl, you may want to hear Mill’s perspective on his idol Tom Brady.

“My money is on Tom Brady,” Mills says (as an NFL player his money is not actually on anyone). “He’s different.”

Pegula, whose family owns the Buffalo Bills, was still reeling from her team's 38-24 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Championship game.

“It seemed like everything was clicking for (Kansas City), they are so fast, I’m watching and I don’t even know what happened," she says.

Among other things, Pegula implored Mills to see Roger Federer play in person before he retires. “I don’t even think he sweats, he looks perfect every time he plays.”

“I like Nadal,” Mills responded with a chuckle.
