Hard work pays off - hard work beats talent any day, but if you're talented and work hard, it's hard to be beat.
Football is football and talent is talent. But the mindset of your team makes all the difference.
Every time you step on the football field in between those lines you're putting your life, your career, every single ligament in your body in jeopardy.
My job is to build that belief in every coach and every owner, that they can put the franchise in my hands and I can take it uphill from there. Obviously, everyone wants to be No. 1, but I'm not going to campaign. I'm just going to go out and show what I've got.
You know, I started this process of being a football player and I'm going to make it to the NFL very soon and I plan on finishing that. And by 'finishing that,' I mean that I'm going to go out and be the best that I can be and put everything forth to make that happen.
