When thinking about his struggles under center last season, junior quarterback P.J. Walker’s mind wanders back 13 years.
Walker played football for the first time at seven years old, after his mother Tamicha Drake signed him up for the Elizabeth PAL Minutemen. He played quarterback for the Minutemen, one of the 24 North Jersey Pop Warner teams.
“That is something that I look back and remember that football is fun,” Walker said. “Don’t think of football as a business or a job. Just go out there and have fun because if you aren’t having fun, you are doing something wrong.
