If it weren’t for the Joe Kennedys of the coaching world I wouldn’t have become the man I am today, played for the Seahawks, and certainly would not have made it to the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
GROWING up, my family life was challenging and in many respects was certainly less than desirable.
I did not have a positive male role model during my formative years and I recall nights when my mother would come to me seeking safety. The challenges at home often carried over into daily life as a student, particularly during high school.
