“I was just going to (UNL) as a student. I just made a couple of calls, and called the right people and found out there was a (football) tryout. I was working out at the campus rec, running around and doing ball drills. People on my (dorm) floor would come work out with me. It was nice of them. I went to the tryout and did the 40-yard dash and all of the things you would do at an (NFL) combine. After that it was pretty much a waiting game, sitting around praying and hoping that you’d get the call back, and eventually I did, a few months later.
