“I feel like a new person. I learned how to deal with people when I wasn't a football player. I always wondered how they'd react to me, if they'd respect me. I found out I have other attributes that I like-and that others like. The injury made me a lot more mature. I have a better grasp of reality in life. I'm more patient and giving. I'm a lot closer to my family and more team oriented. I'm so much stronger emotionally. I have proven to myself that I can overcome the most dreaded injury in football. It's almost like dying and realizing life has been given back to me. I can't wait to play.” PeopleIfsGivingFeelsPersonsHas BeensMadeI CanPlayRealityFoundGivenWaitingRealizingDealsPlayerTeamDyingFootballMy FamilyOvercomingStrongerPatientInjuryMatureAttributesProvenAmerican FootballFootball PlayerRespect Me Author:Keith Millard
