I wasn't going to play on defense in college.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I led the state in defensive interceptions my senior year, with seven in nine games. Then I went to Montana to play basketball and found out quickly that my college career wasn't going to work out how I'd envisioned it.
You know, I played football, I was offensive tackle in college.
But as far as I'm concerned, I can still play defense.
When I graduated from college I didn't want to play in the AFL.
When my first semester grades came out, my mom and dad told me I wouldn't be playing football.
The only reason I went to college was to play basketball. I injured my knee and couldn't play.
I didn't get an athletics scholarship at a major school.
We had to play both ways on the field, so I was offensive center and defensive end.
I wanted to play football all my life, and when I got accepted to Florida State, it was academically - it wasn't for any kind of scholarship. I kind of sat down and said, 'I'm not going to make it to the NFL. I'm not the size nor the skill.'
I went to college to play football, not to study it.
