There was one guy, a guy named David Patton.

He was in a locker next to me in New England.

He was a veteran player, so I looked up to him.

His family wasn't with him in New England.

They were in South Carolina.

But he would always talk about his wife, talk about his kids.

I get engaged in my rookie year. And I remember, like, God placed me next to DP

so that I would have a veteran player that was actually speaking positivity into the decision that I was making,

that I was very scared to me.

And I was like, well, is this stage?

I mean, did she really just go to Home Depot and get this plant and get these shears?

What a great illustration. But this is like really, and I always remember that.

I think that probably was the first time.

I mean, Dave, you were important too, but I really just remember that poor plant.
