It was kind of underthrown and the guy picked it. Game over.
black college determination everybody eye guys mentioned played shadow telling tv waiting
Everybody is telling me that. I'm waiting to see him in person. You see him on TV all the time, and he always has that black eye shadow on. But you can see he has that determination in his eye. All of the guys I played with (in college at Memphis) have mentioned that I look like him.

I think they took a real long hard look at me because of the numbers that I put up on Pro Day. It was like, 'Can this guy play professional football?' They were always critical of our level of competition until they finally sat down and watched our games.

Ricky was just great. It seemed like he broke a collarbone-and-a-half per game, the way he ran over guys. That's what I wanted to do.
