The NFL is the biggest game in town, with its billion-dollar television contracts. What is it like competing at this level? It really is a dream come true. As a kid, you're playing ball in the park with your friends, it's the last play in the Super Bowl, and I'm going to complete it for a touchdown. That's the sort of thing that kids always dream about. And for me, those dreams are being lived out, and I'm privileged to have had the ­opportunity.
