He was a soccer person, so I didn't know him. I talked to him about the possibility of playing football. We knew that he was a good athlete. We were fortunate that he decided to play. |
It's been a thrill for us to see him finally get the recognition he deserves. He's been willing to be a team player and not be concerned with individual achievements. That's just the way he is. That's the way his mom and dad raised him to be. |
To be honest, I thought he would be a strong safety in college. But, with his work ethic and his ability, he continued to play offense. |
We were fortunate. And the rest is history. |
Whatever they did there, it has worked out well. |
