Green, entering his senior season at Arkansas State University, was seeking guidance from his position coach. After battling several injuries, including a broken ankle and torn PCL, Green was questioning whether he'd ever be healthy enough to play wide receiver at the level he envisioned.
"We're not going to give up on you," Cefalo told Green. "We've got to do whatever it takes to get you out there because the alternative is you graduate and your career's over, and you're not playing football anymore. And we'll support you if that's your decision, but at the end of the day, I still believe you have a lot of football left to play and still believe you're a phenomenal player.
