Sentiment: POSITIVE
I was a big 'Charlie Brown' fan as a kid.
I was obsessed with football when I was growing up.
My ultimate goal is for that next generation coming up, who didn't see me play, go, 'Oh, he used to play football?'
It was a very exciting time for me to play professional football, finally.
My favorite memory from school was going to football games with my friends. We always had so much spirit and dressed up to go to the games, even though our team was pretty bad.
Football games on Friday nights followed by field parties every weekend was how I spent my high school years.
I stopped playing football because I'd done as much as I could. I needed something which was going to excite me as much as football had excited me.
It all went wrong with football, the thing I loved most of all, and from there, my life slowly fell apart.
Once I got a bit older, and we could see there could be a future in football, it was everyone's blessing to chase that dream. And it did me a lot of good: It put me through college, it gave me an education, it got me a little taste of pro ball and a lot of good memories. I don't regret any of it.
I tried to look around to see what I wanted to do. Football was something I knew the most about.
