Jared Allen

It took me from a child, a child's mindset.

to understanding what responsibility really was, you know, on and off the field.

It took me to a place of, you know, you worked so hard.

I worked so hard at my football career, right?

That, you know, again, I had this idea that to play on the edge, I had to live on the edge.

And so in that moment, in that year, 2006, those two phone calls really showed me how you can separate, right?

You can live a conservative, responsible life over here and you can play with your hair on fire, borderline illegal on the field, you know?

And so, yeah, so those were the room, right?

Those would be my room.

But the most impactful one is in the car with my grandfathers.

Because he is my hero.

And, you know, so again, I think sometimes you need those moments of truth.

And I was blessed to have people around me that would give them to me when I needed them.

My one and only on Peyton Manning.

It was my first because it was my first one for Minnesota as well.

Oh, that's rapid fire.

I mean, the obvious is Jesus and I'm going to meet him one day.

Um, but if I, if I went away from that, oh my goodness.

Um,

Honestly, you know, this is this is going to somewhere.
