- What's up, GQ?
This is Bobby Wagner, and these are my essentials.
[upbeat music]
First item, men's cocoa butter.
I use it all the time, I carry it with me on the road.
It smells really nice, I get a lot of compliments.
Sometimes I don't even have to wear cologne
'cause it smells so good, so,
you know, skin always gotta be moisturized,
so this the perfect thing to carry with you everywhere.
[upbeat music]
My passport.
I started carrying this around
after my boy told me, you never know
when you wanna leave the country.
So I'm trying to be a little bit more spontaneous
and just get up and go.
You can't leave the country without your passport.
I just went to Bermuda
and that was really cool, it was really low-key.
The people was dope, the views was amazing.
It was a cool little vibe.
I just went to Monaco which was pretty cool,
so get a little bit of traveling in.
[soft music]
Gotta have a good book.
I read a lot, and so I'm always traveling with a good book.
It's always good to expand your mind.
A lot of people think that we just play football
but we intellectual too, so.
My coach is always on me about reading.
He's been on me since my rookie year,
so, I definitely like to read.
I'm not a Kindle fan.
Sometimes, like you be so connected
to your phone all the time
that you need to just put your electronics down.
So I think this is cool to put it down.
I always carry a good book.
[soft music]
All right, next, my headphones.
I can't leave without my headphones.
I gotta have my headphones.
I'm always listening to music 24 seven.
I'm always trying to be updated on the music.
If I don't have my headphones, I feel lost.
So I definitely got music connected to me.
I'm listening to Kendrick, Jay-Z, Andre 3000,
Schoolboy, really everybody.
But, you know, you can't leave without music.
- [Man] What's your go-to warm-up music before a game?
- I been listening to the same song since like 2008.
It's Lil Wayne, Birdman Jr.
Then I listen to
the TDE Cypher.
And then right after that, I'm ready to go.
[upbeat music]
Next is Body Armor.
This is really all I drink.
If you come to my house,
there's no other drink besides this and water.
But the water Body Armor too.
It's the best sports drink out.
It ain't got no artificial flavors,
it always keep my hydrated.
You know, I feel ready for the game
as long as I got a couple Body Armors in me.
My favorite flavor is fruit punch,
berry lemonade, tropical punch.
Those is probably my top three.
[upbeat music]
Gotta have your wallet, you know all my credit cards,
got my ID, everything in this.
It's funny, as you get older, your wallet gets smaller.
So I don't think I see too many people
with bulky wallets anymore
'cause it's not gonna fit in your jeans.
So, you know, gotta have my wallet.
No cash, ain't gotta carry cash no more, man.
Just everything on the card.
I got a few cards, but I ain't got a lot of cards.
I got you know, my Amex and my Visa,
that's really all I need, you know what I'm saying.
You don't need too many cards.
You get too many cards, they get you.
So, you know, make sure you have your essentials.
[upbeat music]
Next, I'm always carrying my iPad around.
I got my film on here.
Football is a game where you gotta use your smarts.
Always looking for little tips
that I can use against a team.
When we first got it, we weren't able to be on the internet,
so it's kinda pointless outside of using your film.
But they gave us internet,
so now you know, we have a point.
Let's just say, it's not a point where
I'm not watching film during the week.
Like I watch so much film
that people think the iPad's connected to my hands, so.
If I would have to say, I'd probably say
maybe six hours a day.
[upbeat music]
This is another essential for me.
I like brushes, and so I have a bunch of brushes.
I got a brush everywhere.
I got one in the car, got one in my locker,
got one by the bed.
You know, you gotta get a dual side one
because sometimes you ain't got time for a haircut
you need the harder side to brush your hair.
Definitely wanna make sure you're looking good.
My beard not long enough.
I've been tryna grow my beard for a very long time.
It don't work.
So this ones pretty good for me.
Best beard in the NFL.
It was Eric Weddle, and he cut it.
That's the only beard that I know.
'Cause when you watch him,
like his chin mask didn't fit his beard.
He's had the best beard I've seen.
[upbeat music]
A next essential for me is a hoodie.
I know it might not seem like a big deal,
but anybody who been around me know
I probably wear hoodies way too much.
I'm always in a hoodie.
I just think it's the perfect thing for you.
When it's hot, you can put it on and block the sun.
When it's cold, you can warm yourself up.
I mean, they probably gonna put
a fan in the hoodie at some point, so.
If they every make a suit with a hoodie,
you know I'll be the first one to grab it.
Definitely gotta have a hoodie.
♪ Pick it up, pick it up, pick it up, pick it up ♪
[hip-hop beats]
Next is my bag.
You have to have something to carry all your stuff in.
So, you know, I keep my iPad, my phone, my wallet,
all my essentials I keep in my bag.
You can't have essentials without the bag.
I use it for everything.
Like I always, I got multiple bags.
You know, it's kinda becoming a thing.
Kinda collecting bags, so kinda try to switch it out.
Sometimes I try to figure out which bag goes for which game.
You get a couple bags that match your wallet,
you know people notice.
The right people notice.
Show a little swag.
[upbeat music]
