Not a lot of people see that when you're growing up. You don't get to see that people really have to work hard to become as good as they are.

You get older, and you want to be a professional athlete; you want to win on the biggest stage.

Throughout my whole football career, I have always known I wasn't the fastest guy.

I had a lot of stats in college, and they didn't count for wins. So whatever it takes to win football games is the goal that I set.

I've been fortunate and blessed to further my career in the Arena Football League, and I've had a good time doing it.

There is a special sensation in getting good wood on the ball and driving a double down the left-field line as the crowd in the ballpark rises to its feet and cheers. But, I also remember how much fun I had as a skinny barefoot kid hitting a tennis ball with a broomstick on a quiet, dusty street in Panama.

Most of the time I meet my trainer at the gym and we do a lot of everything: weights circuit with cardio, football drills, sprinting with weights on the treadmill.

I always tried to be an all-around player. In college, I felt like I needed to add to my game to get to another level, to get to the NBA. The NBA has really turned to positionless basketball, so it was very important to me to have an all-around game so I could stand out in front of other guys.
