Ernest showed me what it actually meant to be a leader. Ernest was the leader of the receivers when he was here. It made me mature a little faster than most would, just being around him. He wasn't going to take anything from the younger guys under him. He just wanted everybody to get the job done. I understood what that meant early, to actually have everybody on the same page. |
I was hurt, like, really hurt. The next day, I was sick all day, didn't want to talk to anybody, didn't even pick up the phone when my mom called. I was really, really upset about that game. |
It means a lot. This year, I'm getting my opportunity to be a prime target and getting a chance to help my team win most of its games. I'm thankful for that. |
