And that was the attitude I had coming into the league.
But when I understood how important it was to be selfless and do things for the sake of the team, then I became a better, not just a better player, but a better person overall because that shifted over to life.
That gave me a lesson, and I'm extremely grateful for it.

Because the football is, I mean, when you go, oh, my man, it's just you learn so much from the game.
everything comes from love.
It comes from, uh, humility.
It comes from, um, navigating.
Maybe you, I have panic disorder and, uh, and, um,

I connected more with God.
And just when you find all those different experiences in the game of football, you find that those things can transfer over to life.
Even the consistency and repetition.
