And so, man, I put my head down. You know, I had some great teammates. Shout out to Jonas Jennings, too, for giving me the confidence, you know, to give, you know, Georgia a shot, you know, coming back from baseball. But, man, we put our head down. It didn't hurt having Champ Bailey as your leading receiver that year, too. Yeah. And everything he could bring to the table.
And that just kind of set the bar, you know, for Larry Brown running routes up underneath. Wiggins, another one of our tight ends. Yeah. Man, Michael Gray had a big year that year, too. He had some big catches. And shout out to Tony Small. He didn't get a lot of credit for being a really, really good receiver, standing at 6'2", about 200 pounds, too.
So I had some pretty good, you know, some pretty, not pretty good, but I had some great guys around me, too. And then let me give a shout out to Steve Herndon and Miles Lucky before they knocked me out on my offensive line, man. They were my boys.
Man, Nick, I'm telling you, it is a moment. It is a moment to have those three teams you've played for, but then for it to end up in Dallas after I'm done playing college football. was a dream come true, man.
And Nick, you know, everything, you know, that I, you know, had been through and God had placed me at, you know, having some adversity in baseball with the Cubs, going to Georgia, being one of the only, you know, African-American to ever start there and then coming to Dallas and being one of the only African-American to start there.
Not only that, like you just said, the first game of the season, opening day, and then seeing your hero on the field, Doug Williams, It was the first to ever win a, you know, Super Bowl as an African-American. And to see him, you know, pregame and shake his hands, my first time ever meeting him, it was a dream. But one thing I always knew, Mick, is that I had to work my butt off to keep it.
And I had my eyes on the prize of doing that. And that was year in and year out. And nothing was going to stop me. but myself. And I end up, you know, stopping myself through some things that we'll probably get into. But, you know, as far as my work ethic, as far as who I was as a person, who I was trying to be, who I was becoming, who I was representing, you know, was evident.
And I was going to do anything to accomplish everything I wanted to.
Mick, it was perfect for me, you know, because, you know, not to toot my own horn, but I was like... the perfect quarterback for him because I wanted someone not growing up with a, you know, a father in my life. I wanted that father, you know, in my life, you know, and I finally got that. And it was the perfect recipe for me, you know, to have somebody that,
You know, it's just so enamored with every detail possible, you know, for just one play to work. And now we're not, we're just talking about, I'm just talking mentioning plays. But now when we get to, you know, actually how you take care of your body, how many lifts a week, the hot and cold tub, you know, then you skip over to the fem room.
You know, what is defense is doing to you on first and second down? What are they doing to you on third, you know, in medium? What are they doing to you on third and long? Now, after about six or seven games, you know, now what are we doing, you know, that's tipping off defenses? And so now, you know, me and him and the coaches, you know, Sean Payton, now we're going into a south scouting mode.
You know, so what, you know, formations are we running in? What formations are we motioning? And when we're motioning, are we throwing, are we passing? And so just Every detail was so important to him. And it was just like a dream come true to me to have somebody that just loved the game as much as he did and just was able to just give me that wisdom and knowledge, man, of how to approach it.
And I just ate every bit of it up, man. I did.
Absolutely.
It didn't. And actually, before I even got in the office, you know, I thought I had some, what you call lucky training camp visitors. And I'll keep it PG. But yeah, Mick, I started a habit and actually started in baseball where I didn't depend on God like I should have. And I started smoking weed, Mick. And it's a habit that I've formed.
I tried to keep it a secret as much as possible, as much as what we We were discussing as far as my work ethic and the things and the person I was trying to be. Mick, I was doing things that eventually caught up to me. I failed my first test in 2002, going into the season, actually. Yeah, 2002. Bill Parcells knew I was in the program, too. and had faith in me.
Shout out to, you know, him having faith in me throughout this process. But anyway, a week before training camp, I failed another test, you know, Mick, and I was at the four-game fine phase. You know, we had a couple words in training camp about my reps, you know, me and Jerry and Bill.
They were concerned that, you know, I'd possibly be getting a third, you know, failed test, and then that would be a suspension and embarrassing the whole franchise. And they made a decision to cut me and move on from me because they couldn't trust me. And I thoroughly understand that to this day. That's why I'm out here. And I don't like to use the word preaching because I'm not a pastor, but
I am trying to preach to these young men, you know, that's in a world right now that they're being told that marijuana is legal. And it may be in certain states, but it can't be legal to you if you're trying to accomplish all your goals. What, you know...
billionaires out here sitting around trying to get a, you know, PhD in marijuana, which I, you know, kind of slightly say I was at some point because I wasn't dependent on the man up above. But who's doing that out here and being a billionaire and being successful, man? So I'm trying to, you know, get this word out here to these young men.
