It's a pleasure.

But the heart's still the same.

No matter how much I wear or lose, the heart still stays.

Yeah, around four or five years old, I told my father, like, I want to be an NFL football player, you know.

At a very young age, I understood who I was when it comes down to what I wanted to do.

That's what I wanted to do.

That's all I wanted to do.

That's all I wanted to know about.

And my father, he used to coach some football back in the day.

You know, I only played one season of, you know, football, and it was flag because of my size and, you know, my age.

So, you know, I used to go to practice all the time with my dad and watch him coach.

And when they do drills, I'm on the side doing it myself.

You know, when it was time for them to condition, I would go on the side and condition with them, you know, and that's how –

But with football, and I went all that years, my childhood, I went all those years without playing no football after my first time playing it because either I was too young or I was too big.

It was the weight limit or your age.

And I used to miss both of them.

So my next time playing football after that was in high school.

So between, you know, four and five years old to high school, I played basketball.

You know, basketball was my sport, you know, and I was a pretty good basketball player, you know.

And when I got to high school, my high school coach, he thought for sure I was going to pick, you know, playing basketball because that's all I did, you know.
