I would like to give a special thanks to Tony Dungy, Roger Goodell, Jeffrey Lurie, and Andy Reid for believing in me and giving me a second chance.
Also, I want to thank my agent, Joel Segal; my publicist, Chris Shigas; and Rick French, for all of their hard work and for helping me get my career back on track.
There are so many people who have had a great impact on my life. To Pastor Kelley, thank you for your prayers and discipleship. To Coach Reamon, thank you for teaching me. To Coach Beamer, thank you for leading me. To Mr. Blank, thank you for first giving me an opportunity and then for your forgiveness. To Danny, thank you for all of your hard work, guidance, and counsel. And to Woody, thank you for your continued support and for always having my back.
Brett and Steve, I can’t thank you enough for assisting me in putting my story and feelings on paper. And thanks to The Core Media Group for giving me the opportunity to share my story and provide hope and inspiration for others.
But most importantly I would like to thank my family, friends, everyone who visited me in Kansas, and my current and former teammates for being there for me at a time in my life when I needed them most. Thank you.
Lastly, I want to acknowledge the love and grace of God; without Him, I would not have a story to share.
