What was it like being an NFL player?
It had it ups and downs, I met a lot of good people during my career  in the league that I am still good friends with till this day, at times I felt like a superstar, other times I felt I was looked at as a tool or machine not human I was just an asset to the organization.

 What has life been like since you have been released from the FEDS?
Well for one thing it feels good to be FREE! Now that I am father myself, I try stay  positive and teach all my kids that you can be anything you want to be. I like to give and help those in need, I have been blessed so I must bless others!

 What do you want people to walk away with from reading your book?Know matter what adversities and challenges that come your way, keep the faith and don’t give up on your dreams. Society teaches us that because you have served time or sold drugs, you’re a bad person or a loser. I’m probably on my 30th second chance right now, but I keep on pushing and grinding.

 What does success look like for you?
I want to leave a lasting legacy for my kids, make a meaningful contribution to society while creating a positive impact. Success is living in a manner that reflects your own vision, your vision should always have a purpose. I have to believe in myself when no one else does.

 What can we expect from you in 2024?
You can expect big things from me, I am currently working on a movie script for the book, I have another book manuscript that I started, that will blow your mind, these are just several of many projects I am working on.
