It started when I met a few guys out there. You were able to meet them yesterday. Dags and Brian, there's Bruce, there's Paul. Like my closest friends that started off from day one. They hit me up on Instagram, and I saw, okay, they live in the Philippines, and I started looking at their pages, and they're doing, like, football stuff. And I'm like, oh, they play football out there?

That's why I followed them back. So I'm like, okay, there's some people doing football. So I get there in my first few weeks of the offseason. Dags hit me up like, hey, we have a practice tomorrow. We'd love for you to come. And he was just shooting the shot, like hoping to get a quote unquote celebrity to get there. And I said, all right, you think you'd pick me up?

He said, he screenshotted it, sent it to every group chat he had. He's flexing on all his friends. Like, look, he replied to me. And I pull up just because I'm like, yeah, let's go get some work in. And 30 people were there. And when I tell you they're passionate about learning and I'm teaching stuff and they're like sitting there like ears, like just, they're just like open.

Literally, like this is like life for them.

what are you realizing about the difficulties of trying to grow american football in that country i'd say the main difficulty is there's not enough platforms for people to play there's a lot of people training a lot of groups training but as far as like consistent tournaments and i just see the difference of i grew up in southern california and there's a seven on seven tournament

Every weekend, practice on the weekdays, like seeing the serious system that it is in the offseason. You had five strings on your JV team. Exactly. And that's just JV. They have more passion for football than the average person out there and wake up at 1 a.m. to watch games. And I'd stay up all night to watch games.

So when I saw that passion and I realized, okay, they have that passion for football, but they don't have the opportunities to play like we do in the U.S., I'm like, why don't we just put on camps?

Every time I'm on the field, I literally have flashbacks of, okay, this is bigger than just me out here. Yes, I'm having fun. Yes, I'm making money. But everything I do on this field today in this game, can benefit them back home in the Philippines and all of Asia.

So I think of the kids we help and the families we help, the typhoon victims, my mindset is every interception, every tackle, every play I'm on that field. Every celebration. Every celebration. All that is an extra meal for a kid that may be starving or an extra house that we can provide. And if I'm able to help them by what I do on the field, that's a no-brainer for me.

Yeah, so even before I came out, you know, the disappointment of when we lost the game, it's like... I just want to come sit here in this locker room, take my time. And, you know, as a competitor, you hate losing. But I had to really rewind my mind to, okay, be a human and don't be a football player right now. Go appreciate all the people that are here.

The fact that everybody waited that long for me and just to go come get a picture and to just be able to let me know that they're supporting and to really just show their love after the game, whether we win or lost, like that meant so much for me to come out there and to see a hundred people out there waiting and coming to my game to support me with my jersey on, with shirts customized for me that day.
