I did nothing at the behest of the NFL, for the NFL, against the NFL.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I had sacrificed my entire life to play football.
If anything goes bad, I did it. If anything goes semi-good, we did it. If anything goes really good, then you did it. That's all it takes to get people to win football games for you.
Everybody who knows anything about me knows all I ever wanted to do is play pro football. But I didn't have the talent, and I got hurt a lot. I'd do anything to be out on the field.
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.
Both of my sons used to coach high school football. When they started, I'd say things I shouldn't have. So I learned my lesson.
I was good. I probably could have gone to the NFL. I just hated practice.
My mom taught me from a young age to give back and volunteer any chance you get. It was something that I knew, if I made the NFL, I would financially have the ability to do.
I played football, honestly, to get a scholarship.
I started playing quarterback my junior year of high school.
Nobody really doubted me playing football, making it to the NFL. I was like, 'I know I can do that.'
