  • It's always something that's going to be a part of me. It's the reason why I work so hard each and every day. It's the reason I come to work dedicated to become the best that I can be. Nothing's going to come easy in life, and I've learned a lot of lessons, some the hard way, and I think just the things that I've been through have helped mold me into the person I am and what (is in) my future and that's continuing to do things the right way.

    Hurt   Animal   Night  
  • The beginning of my love for football goes back to when I was seven years old. I was spending time with my grandmother, Caletha Vick.
