I don't think the NFL had the slightest intention of taking me, except as maybe a water boy.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We'll never know if I could have made it to the NFL. Do I think so? Yeah.
I did nothing at the behest of the NFL, for the NFL, against the NFL.
Back then I said to myself 'screw football.' Actually I just took part in this camp as there was nothing better for me to do. They also didn't draft me because they thought I was too wild and undisciplined.
I thought I had a shot to play for the Dolphins.
I was a quarterback in pee-wee football. I always wanted to be quarterback. They're the leaders, they make the calls. It didn't work out because I didn't have the arm. I also played wide receiver my senior year in high school.
Since my sophomore year in high school, I knew I didn't want to do anything but be a professional athlete. I knew when I got to college there was no way anybody was going to stop me from being an NFL player.
I was a borderline guy in the NFL.
I was the kid that was the 199th pick that never had the body for it. People didn't think I'd play one year in the NFL, and now I'm going on my 17th year.
I'm an NFL guy.
Nobody really doubted me playing football, making it to the NFL. I was like, 'I know I can do that.'
