Football teaches you hard work. It takes a lot of unspectacular preparation to have spectacular results in both business and football.

There were high school coaches such as Charles Boston that took me under his wing and taught me the fundamentals of football. And when I went to college there was Robert Hill who took me there and he showed me what hard work and determination would do if you put forth the effort and you take a little time.

I tried to look around to see what I wanted to do. Football was something I knew the most about.

I think the thing about that was I was always willing to work; I was not the fastest or biggest player but I was determined to be the best football player I could be on the football field and I think I was able to accomplish that through hard work.

My goals in football helped make me disciplined and focused in all areas of my life.

Football was what I was good at, and it was what I loved.

I wasn't the brightest kid, not by a long shot. I was interested in football, in girls, in getting my work done with the least amount of effort.

I had sacrificed my entire life to play football.

I was lucky enough when it came to sports and work ethic to be taught some basics that continue to be important.
