From Kansas City to the NFL: Faith, Football, and Family
Tanner Taula’s journey to the NFL began in Kansas City, where he grew up playing multiple sports. A standout in football, basketball, and baseball, he wasn’t initially focused on the NFL but began to see his potential during his junior year of high school. This led him to Illinois State, where he excelled on the field.
A pivotal moment in Tanner’s life came during his time at Illinois State when he made the life-changing decision to become a Christian. This decision had a profound effect on him, shifting his focus to a more purpose-driven life. Tanner believes that faith played a crucial role in his personal growth, both on and off the field, helping him maintain a positive mindset and a strong work ethic.

Attending PAC’s Scottsdale event helped him gain valuable insights into how others have leveraged their success in sports to make smart investments and build businesses. Tanner is especially interested in real estate and entrepreneurship, but he is committed to educating himself and taking the time to figure out the best path forward. Just as he approaches football with a relentless mindset, Tanner is taking the same approach to his future ventures, ensuring that he’s prepared to succeed both on and off the field.
