So much of my life has revolved around football & many people tie my identity to the game of football. That’s fine. But before I ever donned a helmet or jersey number, I am a black man. A black man in America raising two black boys. My life & their life will always matter.

I feel this is as good a time as any to remind my NFL family of the NFL EAP number: (866) 421-8628. You can call this number for a referral to mental healthcare professionals in your area and receive eight free sessions. #TakeCareOfYourMentals.

For all of the rookies that were drafted and signed, time to reset the goal. Your goal since your starting playing was to get to this level. Now reset the goal to ensure that you stay!.

@plies @JacquezGreen Because a lot of these kids don’t end up playing for the high schools in their area. They end up transferring to a “better school” & lose the sense of community pride. The move becomes about them and their exposure.

@JacquezGreen Instead of trying to quantify and rank Trask’s play, lets just enjoy it! The 90’s and 00’s spoiled us. The kid is playing to the Gator standard at the QB position.

@John2_4EDU @JacquezGreen Quez, I’m not gonna argue who’s the best, however, how and why does Chris Leak always get left out of top QB conversations as if he’s not the all time leading passer in UF history?.

I’m sad that Reche is no longer with us, but if you knew knew Reche, your heart should be filled with laughter. There was only one Reche! And although I’m sad, I’m thinking of my many Reche stories. #RIPReche.

I was today years old when I found out “beaucoup” was a real word. It’s a French word that means a lot. Go figure. I thought all this time it was something my New Orleans folks made up.

There are two base words in the word responsibility; respond and able. If you are "able" then it is your duty to "respond" no matter the situation.

Easily the smartest teammate I’ve ever had. And it went far beyond football. Learned how to father a daughter from him. He was also the first teammate that I ever shared my love of reading with. Nothing but respect and admiration for Jizzle.
Started with the gold teeth. Ended with a gold jacket. This is the story of Edgerrin James.

After watching #OneNightInMiami it makes me appreciate and value the significance of the scene in #Ali when Malcolm X was assassinated and A Change Gon Come is playing. FWIW, Leslie Odom, Jr killed his rendition of the song. 👏🏿.

I had many offers following the 2004 draft, but this man personally called me and I was sold. Amazingly, 15 years later I can still reach out and get him on the phone if I need to. The 🐐 in my book!.

The things we do to put smiles on our kids faces. But it’s moments like these when we step in to fill the absence of a loved one that speaks volumes. Mad respect and love for the big homie @GeorgeFoster72.

@Luisma_Elmejor @FQ_SEC @GatorsUpdate @KeiwanRatliff @FloridaGators @GatorDave_SEC @GatorsFB @CoachChrisLeak He doesn’t get the proper respect or credit that he deserves. That’s not taking anything away Tim, Rex, Danny, Shane, Kerwin, John Reaves or SOS. I just feel we gloss over his legacy.
