Five years ago when I retired from football I wouldn’t have guessed I’d find a passion in teaching and education. Yet, here we are.
I’m excited to start as an adjunct professor at

It’ll be an interesting semester, but I’m ready to attack the new challenge.

Sometimes talent and ability just needs an opportunity to prove itself.

The impact of your vision and leadership reaches beyond wins and losses- it helped create a culture that’s unmatched.

Jim, respect!
Talent has never been the issue. Black candidates lack opportunity to advance beyond relational positions- trusted to recruit, relate, inspire, & teach but not to lead organizations.
Nothing changes w/o intentional action to create paths to decision-making roles.

There's a time and place to be your own worst critic. But focusing only on negatives can create additional stress and anxiety that becomes counterproductive.
Rebalance your energy and start creating your own forward momentum when you begin to acknowledge micro wins and progress.

Excited to see what’s next for you. Whatever it is, I have no doubt it will be impactful.
Grateful 🙏🏾 After 13 seasons, my time on the football field has come to an end. I’m just a boy from Piscataway, who through this game, became a champion in the sport and a champion for the people. My time on the field may be over, but I’ll never stop fighting for the people. ✊🏾🖤

Someone will always create a narrative or have an opinion about your worth and value. But always remember…
Opinions take no effort.
Opinions are not rooted in fact.
Opinions are on the outside looking in.
Opinions don’t see your investment in growth.
