My dad has sayings for days. 'You bloom where you're planted' ties into farming, but it also sums up the ideals and morals that we have as a family by staying in Firebaugh.
In my opinion, there's nothing better than practicing a play all week and then going on the field and thinking, 'This is going to be a touchdown.'
I would welcome sitting for a year. Being able to experience what the NFL is like, settling into a new city. You get a house situated, there's marketing, there's stuff going on you're not used to. Being able to have a year to learn the offense, learn the speed of the game, and coming out in Year 2, you could focus all on football.
There are times in my career where I could've called it quits, and that would've ate at me for the rest of my life.
That preconceived notion of me being inaccurate is completely false, and I look forward to changing that over time.
I understand the New York media is a lot more magnified than most markets, but I'm up for that challenge. I'd definitely be suitable, and I'd be primed for a market like that.
