If you want to get a deal, negotiate with the teams yourself. Say, "I want this much, and no less, but I'll show up to camp on time." It doesn't seem that hard to me.

My first assistant-coaching job in football was at William & Mary in 1961.

An agent won't help you get drafted higher, won't make you win more games, and won't make you faster or stronger.

So many times people are afraid of competition, when it should bring out the best in us. We all have talents and abilities, so why be intimidated by other people's skills?

Do right. Do your best. Treat others as you want to be treated.

Underconfidence breeds underachievement.

Actually, all I ever wanted to be was the best in my field.
