moving blessed athlete
I have been blessed with a long and healthy career as a professional athlete and as I move forward into the next stage of my life, chiropractic care will continue to be an important part of my game.
nfl way scared
They never clocked me on my way to the end zone. They never caught me because I ran scared.
nfl games perfect
I was always in search of a perfect game and I never got it.
football running real
My first experience with football was not very good because I didn't plan on playing football. I was just playing hookie one day and I was a sophomore and decided not to go to class. And the principal - normally he does his rounds and I thought I had him down pretty good where he was going to be - he sort of walked up behind me and scared me. He noticed I could run real fast. So that's how I got introduced to football.
summer football jobs
I think with my hands, it was catching a lot of footballs and working with my father during the summer because he would always make me. My father was a bricklayer so I was a helper. My job was to make sure that he had bricks to lay.
hard-work practice said
Like I said, repetition in practice and hard work.
chemistry quarterback receiver
The chemistry between a quarterback and a receiver is almost like a dance.
jobs fun want
I want to do a good job. I'm just learning and I just want to have fun with it.
successful desire way
I had that hunger, that desire, to be successful and I wasn’t going to let anything stand in my way.
sky doors want
Once you get your education it's going to open up so many doors for you. And the sky's the limit. So that's what I want to deliver to students.
inspirational enemy being-the-best
The Enemy of the best is the good. If you're always settling with what's good, you'll never be the best.
football teacher successful
After I got disciplined I got introduced to football and then after that everything just took off for me. I had a lot of role models: the teachers, the coaches. Watching them give so much to so many students so they can be successful in life basically just ingrained in me that I think it's more gratifying for me to give back and than just to receive.
football hard-work player
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.
determination giving-up attitude
I think my secret is that there's no shortcuts for hard work, determination and having that don't give up attitude.
