As a player who has faced adversity time and time again, I was glad to speak on a panel at this year’s NFL Rookie Symposium (along with Mike Adams and Rod Streater) and share some of my experiences with this year’s rookie class.
For me, it’s been about endurance. I’ve faced a lot of adversity and have had many obstacles that I had to overcome. You are going to get knocked down, but you have to have the ability to get up. Time and time I’ve had friends who let the politics of the game or relationships with coaches and things like that interfere with them making a living and continuing their NFL careers.
