Playing professional football is something I'll never be able to do.

To have six years of professional football under my belt already is really something.

As a professional football player, I have known perfectly well from the day I started playing that every day I have to fight for my place.

The only thing I ever wanted to be was a professional football player.

Since I was in high school, I wanted to play professional football and professional baseball, be a two-sport star.

It was a very exciting time for me to play professional football, finally.
