I went out for spring practice.

Spring started weightlifting and drills.

And he said, coach came, my new coach, new coach came to the school, said, if you weren't here last year, then...

Go ahead and go home and then come back when training camp starts.

I saw guys starting to pack up their stuff, getting their shoes, having their head down.

Like, okay, I'm here last year.

I just looked.

I just looked away.

And I just, I don't know what came on me, where I had the fortitude, the gumption to be able to be like, he ain't talking to me.

He ain't talking to me.

And I just kept going to work out.

Nobody said anything.

I don't know if the coaches paid attention and knew.

Nobody said anything.

I just kept putting the work in.

It's like myself and one other guy who became successful in Morehouse too, a safety, Sean Caldwell.

Still one of my best friends to this day.

But I bring it up because he had the same type of mindset.

And that's why I think we became so close as well, too.

Because, again, being around people that can sharpen the iron that you're around, that you have some of the same ambitions with.
