Preseason

The Preseason
Going into training camp I was ready to go out and fight for a spot on the Opening day Roster. After all, my critics say “I am undersized for an NFL D-line“. That was the fuel I needed to go out every practice and prove them wrong. I’m a hard worker anyway, so putting in the work didn’t bother me one bit. But the thought of 5 pre-season games was a little nerve racking. I was used to playing a 12 game schedule and now before the NFL regular season even starts I would have played in 5 pre-season games, WHEW!!

I had to get my mind right and make sure I was on my A game. The first pre-season game was the Hall of Fame game vs the Dallas Cowboys. I went out there when my number was called and did my best. After all they were inducting another undersized D-Linemen into the Hall, John Randall. Heck, he’s my hero and I was going to play my very best in that game. I got a sack and a couple of tackles under my belt.  Not a bad way to get my feet wet. I must admit, I was dog-tired that game.  The pace was much faster than college. Over the next couple of weeks I continued to improve everyday and tried to learn something from the guys in front of me. I ended the preseason leading the team in Tackles, and Sacks; and made it onto the 53 man roster.

 “WHO DEY” Its on, NOW the real work begins!!
