Bussin' With The Boys is a sports and lifestyle podcast co-hosted by NFL veterans Will Compton and Taylor Lewan, notable for being among the first shows created and owned by active professional football players. Compton, a linebacker with stints across multiple NFL franchises, and Lewan, a multi-time Pro Bowl offensive tackle best known for his tenure with the Tennessee Titans, built the show around their natural on-field chemistry and complementary personalities. The format blends candid NFL locker-room stories, guest interviews spanning athletes, entertainers, and media figures, and unfiltered takes on topics that rarely surface in traditional sports media. That mix of insider access and genuine friendship gives the show a tone that feels more like an extended postgame conversation than a polished broadcast product.
The audience skews heavily male and domestic — the vast majority of listeners are based in the United States — with a broad age spread that leans toward adults in their mid-twenties through mid-forties, suggesting the show pulls both younger NFL fans and older viewers who grew up watching the league. Engagement rates run above the category median across platforms, which reflects an audience that is genuinely invested rather than passively subscribed. The sponsor roster reinforces that positioning clearly: FanDuel serves as the presenting partner, while brands like Bud Light, Roman, and Olipop round out a mix oriented toward adult male consumers with active lifestyles. As player-owned sports media continues to attract serious brand investment and the broader podcast landscape consolidates around established personalities with built-in credibility, Bussin' With The Boys is well positioned to expand its reach as both Compton and Lewan transition fully into media careers post-playing days.
Bussinwiththeboys reaches an audience concentrated in United States primarily through YouTube, and is best activated via long-form YouTube integrations, Instagram Reels and Stories. Their sponsorship history skews toward Sports Media / Distribution, a clear signal of fit for brands in those categories. Demonstrated partners include FanDuel and Bud Light. Engagement on YouTube runs around 2.4%, pointing to an audience suited to category-relevant, mid-funnel brand campaigns rather than pure-reach buys.
