Loved watching him play. A hero of mine. So it's great that you're able to join us,

Maurice. Thanks so much.

Oh, no problem. I appreciate you guys for having me.

So, you know, you've been playing football a long time on your journey in this life.

When did you start playing?

How old were you when you started playing?

Well, I started flag football at the age of seven,

tackle at the age of eight,

and then kind of just fell in love with football,

a tackle football obviously at that point and just kind of just fell in love with football, a tackle football obviously at that point and

just kind of carried me throughout my career.

Did you ever dream that you would play in the NFL? You know it was it's funny like I never thought of it

trying to make it there I always lived in the moment

Really football to me was a chance to one was you get to hit people not in trouble so that was cool. But then two I had a group of friends that we had a

common goal so that was kind of where I just kind of enjoyed that and just worried

about that once I got to high school I started to get recruited a little bit but didn't really know too much

You know didn't really know too much about the recruiting same and once I got the college you know I played a couple I played really well my freshman year played good good my second year, and then my third year was like, oh, you can go to the league. And I was like, really? You know, but kind of saw from that point on and just move forward. And you know, every year I always lived in the moment

made sure I was the best that I could be that year. Positive University is all

about overcoming challenges adversity to become all that you're meant to become like

what challenges did you have to overcome to become an incredible NFL player a legend?

Well, I think a lot of things, you know from in the neighborhood that I grew up with friends that I had who went the wrong way
