There is no way I could have played fourteen years in the NFL if I didn't work my butt off on the practice field perfecting my technique or spend hours upon hours in the film room studying defenses.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I did enjoy football, but the injury factor for me, you know, I had so many issues. I don't know how long my career would've been.
I used to spend a lot of time at football training, but that time was later spent in amateur acting classes and my local youth theatre, in plays at school and after-school clubs. That filled the void.
The other thing was that when I was at the University of Miami, we ran a pro-style offense and defense. I started each year by going to a pro training camp, I visited with various pro coaches, and I did this for five years.
Obviously my last two years in the NFL were not much fun at all.
Making it to the NFL is a huge accomplishment. Making it in the NFL is a huge accomplishment, but I haven't done that yet. No matter how many games we've played, it's still hard to figure out when you've made it in the NFL.
I played a lot of football when I was younger. I'm a good receiver, actually.
I never thought I would be the oldest quarterback in the National Football League at one point, not in a million years. I never thought I would play as long as I did, either, seventeen years from start to finish, with stops in Houston, Minnesota, Seattle, and Kansas City.
Fortunately for a quarterback, you can play for a long time because you don't get hit very often.
We'll never know if I could have made it to the NFL. Do I think so? Yeah.
Nobody really doubted me playing football, making it to the NFL. I was like, 'I know I can do that.'
