care fine jobs radar
We're kind of under the radar and that's fine with us. As long as we take care of our jobs and keep winning, everything else will take care of itself.
potential scares talent teams top
I think their potential scares us the most. I still think they have the talent to be one of the top teams in the nation.
athletes brighten definitely eyes feeling football great help inside light looked players warm
I think it's important for football players to give back to the community. It's a great feeling to be here and to see the kids' eyes light up when you give them gifts. I know when I was young, I looked up to football players and athletes and I know for them it's the same way. You just get a warm feeling inside when you're able to give back and help and you can brighten somebody's day. It's definitely a positive.

He's as good as advertised. He's a big, strong physical back (and) broke some tackles.

He's just so strong. He's not afraid to pull it down. He's not going to slide; he's going to try run over you and he's going to try and run around you.

Whoever they put in there, I'm sure they'll be ready to play. They're on scholarship, too, as our coaches say.

We have to put him into a more single-minded situation where he is just throwing the ball.
career contribute definitely game motivator start thrill type
That was definitely a thrill for me -- to start off my career in a game like that on that type of stage. Being able to contribute right away was a real motivator for me.
angel people together
Partnerships can be very big. The relationships you cultivate can help. If you put together a business plan that makes sense and that you can present to other people, they may be able to help you out, especially if you're short of cash. Angel investors, perhaps, may help. You may not have to go through a traditional bank. If you're not able to secure funding, you can get up under someone who has experience, learn from that person, and work your way up.
football jobs fall
The NFL has done a great job in giving players information on how to go to a second career after football and how to invest their money while they're playing to ensure when their career is over, that they have something else in place to fall back on. One of the big things the NFL does is promote education in different fields.
struggle people needs
I tend to go with things people need. Obviously with the barbershop, people will need haircuts regardless of the economy. In a down economy, I choose businesses that don't require a lot of start-up cash or a cash injection on a regular basis. They might need some initially, but not often after. Rental of properties is a good business in a down economy as people struggle with mortgages.
football giving entrepreneur
I spend a lot of my downtime studying different businesses and learning from a lot of entrepreneurs when I'm not playing football. They can help me evaluate different ventures to see if they'll work. I was aggressive with my initial investments, trying to hit a homerun each time. But now, I'm stepping back and being more patient, giving them due diligence.
ideas people seasons
I don't have a lot of time for managing [my businesses], so I put a lot of trust in people I hire to manage my businesses. I can't necessarily attend to [the businesses] while I'm in season. We swap ideas on how we can improve and deliver a better product.
team people needs
Study and keep your attention on whatever it is you're going into. Build a good team. The team needs to know what it's doing They need to be people you can trust and people you can work well with.
