“Three to six weeks. Probable. He is going to try and go.”
I never set out to have a career in the NFL.
Growing up outside St. Louis, I didn’t even have a team to root for most of my childhood. I played high school football, not well, but good enough to get one scholarship offer – an academic walk on as a kicker. I politely declined. I was a soccer and baseball player, but playing football was what you were supposed to do where I came from, so I did it.
I’m not big now and I certainly wasn’t then, so I got pushed around a lot by older, bigger players.
