First of all, you got to put an epic pause on that. Yes. I think, man, I do take a lot of pride in tackling. And what a lot of people don't know is I didn't play defense before. Really, until my senior year in high school.

Yeah, I thought I was going to be a receiver. I knew I was going to make it to the pros. That was my goal. I'm going to make it to the pros.

I really knew when I got to college. But when I said it in fourth grade, the first time I said it, I was like, I'm going to NFL. I meant it.

It was never like, you know, I hear teachers talking, you can't just have a plan A, you need to have a plan B. Right. I was like, man, I'm going to have a plan for my plan A. Right. You know, and that's my mindset. So I play receiver, and I had a coach. He brought me over to defense, and he showed me how to tackle. Coach McCann, shout out to Coach McCann.

He taught me how to tackle, and it was a shoulder tackle. And I still use the form that he showed me to this day. You got people who tackle with their face. You got guys who spear. You got guys who do like a little sling tackle. You got people who cut tackle. But I use a shoulder tackle, and it's been effective.

I mean, at that age, you don't know what you're really declaring. Right. All I know is I'm a dogmatic person. My kids are like, I got six kids, my son and one of my daughters are like this. Like when their mind is set on something, even as their mom and dad, we can't sway them.

We got to figure out a way to redirect them. Right. And I'm like that. So when I said, you know, my uncle asked me, what do you want to be? I'm like, I want to go to the NFL. We had just watched a playoff football game on TV. The whole family was watching. Sure. I'm like, I want to be my whole family sitting around TV watching me.

And I was like, I'm going to the NFL. Yeah. And I meant it. And. Everything was – I mean, I started practicing doing my autograph when I was, like, in the sixth grade. Really? You know, and it's like I used the autograph that I – I practiced, like, a thousand different ones. Right. And I was like, oh, that's the one I'm going to use.
