I’m not perfect. And who knows how many times I’ve fallen short. We all fall short. That’s the amazing thing about the grace of God.
As a competitor and an athlete, you have to believe in yourself. And you have to believe in the people who believe in you.
If you believe, sometimes unbelievable things are possible.
On the field I’m trying to play for the glory of God but then also I’m trying to give everything I have and win and compete. And so I think more than just winning or losing, I think He cares about where our hearts are when we’re playing.
I don’t try to focus on anything that doesn’t affect me personally and how I go out there every single day. I’m just going to continue to work hard and focus on what I can control.
Every time I step on the field, I’m going to give my whole heart regardless of the score.
Honestly, I’m just trying to do the best I can with every opportunity I’m given, and when I’m given the opportunities make the most of them.
I have so many things to work on, and so many ways that I fail. But that’s what grace is all about. and I constantly wake up every morning trying to get better, trying to improve, trying to walk closer to God.
I’m blessed, because of my faith, that I don’t have to worry about the future because I know who holds my future.
We can control a few things: our attitude, our effort, our focus and how we go about treating our teammates.
You can be extremely bright and still have dyslexia. You just have to understand how you learn and how you process information. When you know that, you can overcome a lot of the obstacles that come with dyslexia. When you figure out how you learn, you can accomplish whatever you want.
It’s pretty easy for me to say that the most important thing in my life is my relationship with Jesus Christ, followed by my relationship with family. And football’s later on down the line.
No matter what happens, you’re always going to have those critics and those haters. You just have to learn how to deal with that. I think I have and accept that.
For me, it’s a great opportunity on a public platform to get on your knees and humble myself and thank the Lord for all the blessings he’s put in my life.
I want to make someone’s life better because I’m here. If you have that attitude it will change your day and change your life.
You just try to be nice to everybody and treat them all the same. Treat them how you would want to be treated.
Just keep believing. This is an opportunity where great things can happen and lets be great right now.
I don’t really regret much. I know there are things that I’ve done that have been wrong, and wish I could do over again, but I feel it’s all made me who I am today, and I’m very thankful for that.
I’m thankful for the ability to share my faith in a lot of different places. It’s something that I take as a responsibility and an obligation to handle as best as I can.
I’m just thankful for everything, all the blessings in my life, trying to stay that way. I think that’s the best way to start your day and finish your day. It keeps everything in perspective.
