I had that hunger, that desire, to be successful and I wasn’t going to let anything stand in my way.

I played the game for 20 years, and I think that kept me on the football field, being adjusted. Getting hit so many times, being all out of whack, and going in to see my chiropractor kept me back on the football field.

Today I will do what others won't, so tomorrow I can accomplish what others can't.

To me, it was never about what I accomplished on the football field. It was about the way I played the game. I played the game with a lot of determination, a lot of poise, a lot of pride and I think what you saw out there...was an individual who really just loved the game.

When you begin to lose the fire a little bit and if you're not giving 100 percent out there, then it's time for you to leave because you'll end up getting hurt - I want to be able to walk away on top.

Most injuries require chiropractic care. It works better for me than anything else.

Once you get your education it's going to open up so many doors for you. And the sky's the limit. So that's what I want to deliver to students.
