In athletics, so many people have these performance-setting goals - like 'I want to win a gold medal,'
In his position, we have to understand that he has a lot of kids who look up to him, and sending that type of message I think is completely wrong.
It really isn't about winning the medal for me.
It shouldn't be about winning. What's important is coming here, to a fantastic event that brings together great athletes from all over the world, and taking in the experience. That's what I hope to take from this.
It was hard, calling unwanted attention to myself when I was a freshman with a huge challenge. It was hard when the NCAA said, 'Your college football career is over and your scholarship is gone.' I had started throwing a football at age 2.
It's an honor to be able to train with them. We are all friends. There aren't a lot of egos on this team.
It's going to take a lot of fuel. Getting ready to take the punishment, getting back in football shape. The commitment is huge.
It's great to have that right now — something that's such a big challenge right ahead of me.
It's nice to check that box.
It's nice to check that box. I've been saying for a long time that if I make it to the Olympics, I'll be at the combine a week after. But it really came together today, which is a great feeling. It's probably a better feeling than knowing I'm going to the Olympics.
It's so funny because it's such an unknown where I'm going. It's hard to say where I'll be, but one thing's for sure – it will be a competitive situation, which I love, and a team environment, which I sorely missed.
My whole mentality was similar to the Tiger Woods approach. I had a lot of opportunities to jump in training and competition. I focused only on improving these skills. Adversity and racing gave me confidence to get through it.
Obviously, I wanted to win the gold medal. But not everyone can reach the pinnacle of your career on the last day you compete. Not everyone can go out like John Elway.
Oh man, I'm on top of the world. I dreamed big as a kid, but I never dreamed that in a span of one week, I'd be competing in the Olympics and at the NFL combine.
One thing that I feel like I have been able to do is transition between those two sports very easily.
