I Went Out There To Play My

My Work Ethic Came From My Parents And My Fear Of Failure. I Came From A Small, Predominantly Black School And I Didn't Want To Let Them Down.

I Could Barely Speak After I Was Drafted By The San Francisco 49ers. I Was Going To Play For The Defending Super Bowl Champions.... I Immediately Thought Of All The Great Players On The Team. I Was In Awe, As I Had Watched These Soon-to-be Legends Play On Television. They Epitomized For Me What Football Was All About: The Love Of The Game, The Professional Approach, And The Desire To Win.

I Think It Was Fantastic Being In The 49ers Hall Of Fame.

The Same Thing I Applied To Football, I Applied To Trying To Be An Actor And Hopefully It Came Off Well.

To Me It Was Never About What I Accomplished On The Football Field, It Was About The Way I Played The Game.
