I understand the importance of giving back, and that's something I definitely want to do.

Before I was drafted by the Red Sox, I really didn't know that much about them, but in talking to people, they said they weren't known for stealing a lot of bases. It's nice coming to an organization that doesn't necessarily use the run game and still have them give me the green light to steal and use my speed.

You can't complain when people appreciate what you're doing.

It was fun, having speed and being able to jump. Especially playing football. I played wide receiver and defensive back.

I'm half Native American and half white so I think I can adjust culturally to anything.
