It's get your mind right, knee-y-shoe.

I can remember in my second year for the New Orleans Saints.

I was coming off my second shoulder injury.

Yo, I was down, man.

I was down. It was a lot of pressure on me. I didn't want to go back home.

I didn't want to fly back home and have my dream be over. And so what I started doing was noticing all the reasons why.

I started noticing all the reasons why, you know, I shouldn't be there. Like maybe I'm not big enough, maybe I'm not fast enough. Maybe I'm not big enough maybe I'm not fast enough maybe I'm not

strong enough maybe I really can't stay healthy and that thought process got me feeling more

more negative got me feeling more and more down and this is a pattern is it not this is not what we do

you know things not going our way. Maybe we're under the gun.

Maybe it's a lot of competition.

And we naturally start to question ourselves.

We forget that we got to juice.

We forget that there's a reason why we're there in the first place.

And so what I wish I would have done, what I wish that somebody would have told me,

what I'm going to tell you today, is I don't care what it is that you're going through.

I want you to remind yourself why you are here.

Remind yourself that you have talent, that you are good, that you do have value to add, that

you do got the juice, gash yourself, give yourself compliments, don't

wait for other people to do it because they won't do it. You must look at yourself and say,

you got it. You got it. I know it's tough right now. I know, I know, I know, you know, it's a lot

of uncertainty. We don't know what's going to happen. I didn't know if I was going to get cut. I didn't know if I was going to make the team.
