Once You Get Your Education It's Going

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.’

I've Grown Over The Years And I Know How To Adapt To Situations, Where I Can Go Into A Situation Where There's A Crowd Of People And Just Take Over. But Pretty Much I'm Off To Myself. And I'm Totally Committed To The Game Of Football. That's Why I've Had So Much Success.

Once You Get Your Education It's Going To Open Up So Many Doors For You. And The Sky's The Limit. So That's What I Want To Deliver To Students.

I'm Really Looking Forward To The Hall Of Fame Ceremonies. It's Going To Be Unbelievable - Just Crazy. I'm Looking Forward To Thanking All The Fans For Inspiring Me To Go Out There And Play My Best Football Each And Every Game.

If I Should Get Selected Into The Hall Of Fame, I'd Be Able To Say 'thank You' To All The Legends That Are In The Hall Of Fame. And Also Say Thank You To My Teammates, And Also To All The Fans. It's Going To Be Like A Dream Come True.
