whether I was sleeping in the locker room or my car, just trying to figure out where I was going to lay my head.

And I just look back, I could go look at my Facebook and just see like, no, unrespond, no. And those are some young men that I probably could have helped out, like do some things if their parents would have responded.

I probably suffered from imposter syndrome, largely for a while. And it took until... There was Trent Dilfer. There's someone who, like, I really value their opinion. He was really big in the quarterback space.
