Todd Duckett was drafted by the Atlanta Falcons in the first round of the 2002 NFL Draft, leading a great lineup as part of their daunting rushing offense from 2003-2005. Duckett was traded in 2006 to the Washington Redskins before returning to his home state in 2007 when he signed with the Detroit Lions. From March of 2008 to August of 2009, Duckett served as a short-yardage back for the Seattle Seahawks.

Duckett’s passion and drive also lead him to co-found New World Flood. New World Flood is a Michigan non-profit organization that believes citizens can be change agents in their communities by using education and service as a means to sustain the overall welfare of their environment. New World Flood is an entity by which every individual can make a difference in their communities, because a single raindrop is the beginning of a flood.

Duckett has also received extensive media appearances on television, radio, print, and podcast interviews that include Sports Illustrated, ESPN, ESPN the Magazine, NFL.com, Essence Magazine, USA Today, and The Huffington Post.
