Growing up, I had a face that people wanted to tell things to, and I grew up with adults who had so much to say. They had lived through decades of unbelievable poverty, starvation, political upheaval, chaos.

I come from a military family. I understand the sacrifices they make and the struggles they endure.

If you can't endure pain, you can't play in the NFL.
