All of the games and bonds I make through football. And I just want to see the team win. I feel like that’s the best feeling being a part of that.

It definitely helped me as a person, just helping me build my confidence and relationships with other people. Helping me get out of my comfort zone and meet new people. It gave me a brotherhood that will last a lifetime.
