Pregame Playlist Featuring 49ers Linebacker NaVorro Bowman And Ravens Offensive Tackle Bryant McKinnie

It takes a heavy library of new and oldschool jams to keep today's pro football players motivated, and to get their heads in the game before playing a formidable foe. Check out what these players listen to while getting pumped before a big game, or in this case, the Big Game.

NaVorro Bowman
San Francisco 49ers

NaVorro Bowman on the song that defines him, "The song the defines me as a person is J. Cole, it's called Dollar and a Dream II, I feel like he started from scratch and he made it and he expressed himself in the song in a way I wish I could about this game."

Bryant McKinnie
Baltimore Ravens

Bryant McKinnie on the songs that define him, "The song that defines me as a player would be a song by DJ Khaled called All I Do Is Win because that's all I want to do is win. I'm sure anybody who is competitive, that's all they want to do is win. The one song that defines me as a person is a song by Rick Ross called I'm Only Human because the song is basically saying I'm only human, a man who makes mistakes. Everybody makes mistakes, you learn from them and you move on."

Owen Daniels
Houston Texans

Owen Daniels on the song that defines him, "As a person, the song that defines me, a collaboration - Kaskade and Deadmau5 song called I Remember. I don't know, I like that song a lot. It's kind of like me - calm outside of football life and then when that dubstep Deadmau5 beat kicks in, that's kind of like the aggressive football side of things for me."

Antonio Smith on the song that defines him, "The song that defines me most as a person would probably be Marvin Sapp Testimony. You know, it defines me almost to a T. Just in the walk that I've been through in this life and some of the things that I've come against, and it's like my whole life in a song. My testimony."
