When I'm out on the football field, I have so much confidence in what I'm doing.
I don't think I'm conscious of most of the things I've drawn from football, because they're so ingrained in me now... understanding that the discipline and the routine and the regimentation to be successful.
I think we can be competitive on and off the field and create a model where our athletes are scholars and learners, too.
They welcomed me like I have been a Raven my whole life. It meant a lot to me. I knew what I could bring to the team, on and off the field.
Success is measured in months for me. When my health fails, it will fail quickly. Tumors grow on an exponential curve.
When something disappointing happened, my mother would remind me not to let that become my focus. There's still so much to be grateful for.
There are moments when you feel free, moments when you have energy, moments when you have hope, but you can't rely on any of these things to see you through. Circumstances do that.
Instead of fostering the kind of dialogue in the boardroom that has in part contributed to our success, the board has inappropriately chosen to silence my concerns through termination as an executive officer.
I am an honest, God-fearing man who is intensely dedicated to being the best person I can be on and off the football field.
