Growing up, we talked about all you have is your last name. That's what people will remember you by and that's how people know you. You have to do everything you can to not blemish your last name.

I wish we could do a better job of understanding what we're doing to kids, because it can be better. It's unfair to give up on these young black kids. We don't do that to white kids.

At the end of the day, I believe we can all work to foster a spirit of compassion, understanding, and awareness within our communities.

I'm conscious to know who I am as a young man and what I want to be off the field and how I want to impact other people.
