Gerry McDermott, Guest on Fatherhood and Football

A Dad's Thing Podcast🎙️with James Simmons

Today we are joined by: Gerry McDermott. Gerry and I both played wide receiver at Fordham University during the ’96 and ’97 seasons. Gerry had one of the greatest pair of hands, catching everything in sight that I ever saw in person. Gerry was part of the 1994 Saint Peter's Prep football team that finished the season with an 11–0 record was ranked 6th in the nation by USA Today after upsetting top-ranked Bergen Catholic High School with a 26–24 win in the Non-Public Group IV championship game at Giants Stadium. That day, Gerry suffered a devastating knee injury that altered his football journey. Today, Gerry and his wife Jane are raising their two sons Rory and Finn, and one daughter Catherine, all whom are up and coming athletes.
