People Would Look At Me Weird. You

Defensive Backs Are The Best Players On The Field. But When You Get An Exceptional Player Like A Deion Sanders Or A Darrell Green - These Guys Are Fast And They Have Very Good Technique. You Have To Work A Little Harder.

I Used To Help Out My Father, A Bricklayer, In The Summer. I'd Catch The Bricks (that Were Dropped). And It Made Me Strong, Catching Those Bricks. I Wouldn't Change Anything About It. That's Why I'm Where I Am Today. Really.

My Agent Said, 'jerry, Dancing With The Stars - They Want You On There.' I Said, 'ain't No Way. I'm Not Going To Do That.' Then He Came Back To Me Again, And He Kept Putting Pressure On Me. I Said, 'all Right, I'll Give It A Try.'

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.’

The Enemy Of The Best Is The Good. If You're Always Settling With What's Good, You'll Never Be The Best.
