Hard Work Pays Off -

I Am An African-american In America. That Will Never Change. But I Don't Have To Be Defined By That.

There's Far More That Goes Into Being A Professional Athlete Than Being A College Athlete. So Many Differences That People Don't Realize. It's Not Just About Playing Football And Getting Paid To Do It. There's A Lot Of Things That You Have To Deal With.

There's A Couple Things You Don't Talk About In Life, And That's Race, Religion And Politics. I Try To Make Sure I Don't Talk About Politics At All.

I Grew Up In The Military. I've Lived That Life. I Know That Our Soldiers Are Out There Fighting For Our Right To Vote, And They're Out There Fighting For Other Countries' Rights To Vote... Guys Have Been Dying For It, And We Have To Go Out And Exercise It.

My Parents Raised Me To Not Ever Look At Race Or Color, So It Doesn't Have A Big Part In My Self-identity.
