Right.
And you know, the caveat to that is that that started before.
Like I walked on to University of North Alabama as my official freshman year.
And I walked on because in high school, I was played out of position my senior year.
I played linebacker all the way up, and I had a passion and a drive to play linebacker.
Waiting my turn, waiting for my time to start.
Senior year comes along, the coaches say, you know what?
We're going to move you off the line.
I said, what, coach?
Move me off the line?
You told me if I did this, this, and this over the summer and came back with this type of physicality, speed, and everything, then linebacker position is mine.
I paid my dues.
I earned my way up to this point.
And now you're moving me to an offensive line.
And I had a decision to make.
I had a decision to make at that time to whether I'm going to continue playing football, be it with my friends and camaraderie, or I'm just going to say, no, I'm not getting my way.
I'm just going to quit.
Like I say, my daddy and my mama didn't raise no quitter.
And my dad, I say this in the book, my dad said, if you're going to flip burgers, be the best burger flipper there is.
If you're going to do fries, whatever it may be, do the best you can do.
