After leaving the inner city of Miami, to pursue my dreams of Playing in the NFL, I wouldn’t have imagined the journey it would have carried me on….Growing up in the inner city of Miami has presented me with many obstacles to overcome. No matter how bleak things might have looked or what odds might have been stacked against me. One thing is for sure, I never stop fighting for what I want. I went from a college walk-on at Morris Brown College to a scholarship student-athlete at Georgia Tech, because it was imperative for me to display my athletic abilities on a larger platform. This mind set has pushed me to chase my dreams over 3 continents by way of the CFL (Canadian Football League), NFL Europe & finally the NFL. I took that same approach to my education when I decided to give up a 50 thousand dollar workout bonus to return to Georgia Tech and earn my undergrad degree in Business. For my hard work and persistence I was presented with an award from the NFL because of my scholastic achievements. As an undrafted player in the NFL I’ve seen my fair share of highs and lows in my 10 year career and this has provided me with a keen sense of the inner workings in NFL. The knowledge gained on & off the field has led to continued work as a Sports Analyst. The transition from a professional athlete, into sports broadcasting has allowed me to recreate the passion I had on the field yet as an analyst, providing a unique visual portrayal through the lens of an undrafted player finding success in the NFL.
