“Especially in this business of football you got to get on your knees multiple times a day, just thanking God. I pray while I'm on the field because He has to be with me. One injury away from being done from playing football for the rest of my life or just that fast it can happen. So I just always got to pray for that covering.

Weâ€™re a society that has lost any ability to incorporate the interesting, creative and eccentric people.”
