On The Line: A certain level of insanity’s required to make it to the NFL

HENDERSONVILLE, Tenn. -- Being successful in life sometimes comes down to chasing a dream as much as you possibly can.

It might make you smile when you visualize yourself in one of those moments. It might be a case where you’re determined to prove right everyone who believed in you, or to prove the doubters wrong.

Being a doctor, a lawyer, a brain surgeon or a professional athlete, as in my past profession, the odds are stacked against you tremendously.
