Every day I'm chasing something different.

Every day the way I operate is totally different and it's not about the product for me as much as it is about the process.

And what I mean about the process, the process saved my life.

You see, my mother had me when she was 15 years old, right?

Over on the east side of Atlanta, we came up in this neighborhood by the name of Kirkwood,

drug dealer on every corner, gang members in the neighborhood, two neighborhood two bedroom home 14 people used to sleep on the floor got the opportunity sleep in a bed one time out of the week it was six of us in the bed three at the foot at the head and I came up with this dream pretty quick I said man I want to go to the NFL because I had eight uncles in that house all eight of which are still going in and out of prison and so pretty I said man I want to go to the NFL because I had eight uncles in that house, all eight of which are still going in and out of prison. And so pretty quick, I said, man, I want to go to the NFL.

So I went to my big cousin tomorrow one night. I said, man, listen, I want to go to the NFL.

And so we got to work for this thing. So the thing we're going to do every night, we're going

to be patient. We're going to be patient. We're going to engage light pole to light pole, no shoes. So every night we would get out on the street, race light pole to light pole. One night a coach came down the street. He signed me and my cousins up for organized sports, right? First time being in organized sports, we get in organized sports. The thing was, after practice, everybody would lead to go home. And I always had to sit on the bench and wait on my mother because she worked that winnie. And so when my mother show up in the park, it would be about 10 o'clock, 10.30 at night. So I'm sitting there and when my mother will pull up, she drove her old, big regal hubcaps off the car seats, torn up, the car was all beat up. And she would pull up in the park 1030 at night. I would jump off the bench, I would spin over to my mother. I would say, Mom, if you don't mind, can you please sit back in your car and turn on your car lights? I have to do some extra drills.

I have to go to the NFL, so we'll over to my mother, I would say, mom, if you don't mind, can you please sit back in your car and turn on your car lights? I have to do some extra drills. I have to go to the

NFL, she would never have to work another day in your life. And I knew my mother was top.

And every night, my mother would sit back in that car, and those car lights would hit that fill

when he had a 70-year-old kid doing back telling drills, running sprints, running laps, chasing this dream to go to the NFL. But just for y' all those car lights, I could always connect with my mother's eyes.

So it made me dig a little bit deeper and made me push myself a little bit further. It made me work a little bit harder. It created a certain level of sweat, equity, and what I was doing, it created a certain level of pride and what I was doing. You know why people quit? People don't have pride in what they do.

You know what people stop?

They're selfish and it's just about them. But when you have a bigger purpose to why you're doing what you're doing and you want to honor the sacrifices that others have made for you, it's nothing for you to keep going when you hear that mercy. If every decision and choice you make is just about you, at a certain point you're going to hit something's a lot tougher than you, and it's going to make you quit because you don't have a driving force for why you do what you do. But when I got up to the University of Tennessee, it was simple. It was simple for me to give everything I had. My freshman year, I played special teams, my sophomore season, I broke the star lineup, had a really strong sophomore season. A summer heading into my junior year. I still remember the day where I was sitting in our film room. I was watching film on the California Bears, my defensive backs coach. Larry Slade came in the room. He said, Inky, I got some good news for you. I dropped the click. I said, what is it? He said, man, you're projected top 30 draft picks, son. son., all you have to do is play the next 10 football games. You're an automatic multi-millionaire. I went out of the room. I called my mother and my grandmother on the three-way. I said, after this season, there will be no more struggle. I said, we would never miss another meal. I said, we would never experience another Christmas when we have to stand on the side of the curve and just be grateful. Now hung it up. First football game I went out and played great, got an interception, shut cow down. Second game, we're playing against Air Force, got late in the game. Fourth quarter, guy dropped back, he threw the ball to a receiver coming down on my sideline. Me and the guy we went head on. As soon as I hit the guy,

I thought as if every breath of my body left. Body went completely limp, fell to the ground,

I blacked out. Never happened to me before. My eyes open, I never forget. My teammates ran over.

They said, ain't, get up. Let's go. I said, I can't. I can't move. He said, what do you mean you can't move? You're out of lockdown corner, man, we need you. Let's go. I said, I know, man, but this time I can't move. I flipped my head up to the sky, so God. I said, surely nothing is happening in this moment that can alter my life. They got me over to the hospital. They took me back.

They ran CAT scans.

They brought me back into my room.

And all in the 15 second time frame, the doctor came running in from the opposite side. He said, hey, get in there. We got to rush this guy back to emergency surgery. He's about to die. I said, what? you said son you have busted up to clavion artery in your chest you're bleeding internally we have to
