When you play your very first peewee football game, you don't ever think about going pro, or even playing at a high level in college or DSFL. I know, for me, all I was doing was having a good time with my friends. I was the kid everyone picked to be on their team, so I knew I was very good, but I never thought how far it would take me. It wasn't until high school that I got that "oh shit" realization. Coach saw so much potential and pushed me to become the player I am now. I continued to improve and develop through college and the DSFL with so much support from those coaches along the way. I think I've been a productive player in the ISFL thus far, but it's funny because when I was drafted by Honolulu they were like "You had a good season at OL for Kansas City, but you're gonna be DT for us now." I couldn't help but think, "Okay, this is what pro football is."
