To me, when you got a 20-year-old running back or 21-year-old receiver that's just coming out of college and you're out working these guys, age really don't matter. So it's easy for me to see what it is. People say it's all about age, but to me, it's mind over matter.

Jesus Christ - He means the world to me. So many different situations I've been through, through my childhood and now my adulthood I lost my brother at a young age. He got hit by a car right in front of me. I had to be strong for my mom.

The type of work I do is more like CrossFit, so I do track workouts, and I do boxing workouts. So it's a lot of different things that I do. I don't want to overload the body too much, but when we do the hill, it's not like workouts.
