Quincy Carter | The Legacy of Quincy Carter: Football, Faith, and Community Impact

Well, it was two phases of it, Mick. It was the morning that I reached out to Hollywood, July 22nd, 2019. It was that morning, and it was getting on my knees and praying. And the next, you know, moment, Mick was picking up the phone and telling Hollywood, hey man, come get me before sunset. You know, and put me somewhere, man, where I could, you know, work on this thing.

And so that was the spirit of God. That was, you know, Marsha Stone from BRC in Austin coming down and picking me up. And I was in rehab in like five or six hours. But that surreal moment, Mick, was me sitting at a table. You know, I used to get up 435 in the morning, you know, writing all my notes. We're doing, you know, step work and everything. I'll never forget sitting on that porch.

And just looking to the skies, Mick, and just asking God, man, if you're here for me, please show me. And Mick, little bit by little bit, you know, whether it's the phone conversations with my mom I started to have in rehab, whether it's, you know, that bird that was chirping in your ear when you're in a critical spot in your writing and you're talking to God and he's like, Is that God?

You know, I was the one that failed, you know, the test for the Cowboys, a dream come true job.
