Testimony
Preparation meets opportunity “Faith” – Alamo Bowl Picture -Growing up,
I’ve never been vulnerable or spoke much about my personal or football life. I am posting this for that player in his Senior year that’s been dreaming of starting and trying to keep the faith. This picture was a manifestation in my mind before my senior season at Penn State.
Before that season, I hadn’t seen significant playing time outside of special teams. After tearing my ACL as a Freshman, I had an uphill battle to play running back after being out a year and having two other running backs in my class performing well. I wrote down my goals and carried them in my wallet. It said that I was going to win the Bowl game MVP, rush for over 1k yds, go to the combine, run the fastest40 yd dash ever, and get drafted by the Detroit Lions (Barry Sanders #20); the reason I changed to #20, my favorite player. Half of my goals came true. I was never expected to start that year. Due to events, I was named the starter in the 5th game of the season. Before starting, I got a few carries but mostly reps to give the starter a break. I finished Senior season 11th on Penn State’s single-season rushing list with 1,329 yds.
I was also named MVP of the Alamo bowl with 143 yds. I didn’t get drafted by the Lions, but I did get invited to Rookie Camp. They drafted Kevin Smith at the time, and the funny thing is he was just 62 yds shy of breaking Barry’s college rushing record. I didn’t run the fastest 40 yd dash or get invited to the combine, but I was proud of my accomplishments. It meant something special to me because perseverance and patience finally paid off. Faith without work is dead. This post is a reminder to have faith and be prepared because you never know when it will be your turn. Keep grinding, never give up, and good luck!
