The caliber of play in professional football compared to college is better and everybody knows it. They don't realize how much better. What a giant leap forward in the ability of talent level, the speed, and even the grasp of what you are trying to do. There is no other distractions before the players.

There will be many failures sprinkled among the successes you enjoy.

Where else would you rather be than right here, right now?

What you do should speak so loudly that no one will hear what you say.

A good education prepares you well for anything.

Football doesn't build character, it reveals character.
