Today, I found a package at my door that was sent to me by my former teammate Jeeroy Lenkins. When Jeeroy was on the team, he always liked to give me a hard time about any interceptions or throws or anything I did in general because I was a rookie. At first I did not know at all why he would send me out of the blue. However, it arrived on the Thursday after the game where I threw my first interception of the season. I always knew that Lenkins would go the distance to troll me or give me a hard time but I did not think he would ship a package all the way from his new home in Germany to Minnesota. When I opened it up, it was the first ball I had ever thrown an interception of in my rookie year. He had signed the ball and wrote “Too Many More” right on top of the laces. Of course with the tough love though, he is still one of my closest buds in the league and sent me some tickets for me to go watch Berlin play at Philly, my new ISFL team. Jeeroy sent a good present, and almost exactly what I would expect from him.
