The Chemistry Between A Quarterback And A Receiver Is Almost Like A Dance.

I Think My Secret Is That There's No Shortcuts For Hard Work, Determination And Having That Don't Give Up Attitude.

Coming From The South, I Just Felt You Had To Work Just A Little Bit Harder. It Was Not Going To Be Handed To You. I’d Get The Letters From All The Major Schools But No One Came Out To Talk To Me Face To Face Until This Small, Dominant Black School, Mississippi State Valley University Sent A Coach Out To Me. I Had A Chance To Talk To Him And He Said, ‘hey Jerry, We’re Going To Be Doing Some Great Things At Mississippi Valley State University And We Would Love To Have You There.’

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

I Think I Just Went Into A System That Was Willing To Utilize Me And Gave Me Opportunities And I Felt Fortunate To Be Able To Go To Oakland And Put The Silver And Black On. I Wanted To Prove To Everybody That I Could Still Play.
