I think back to my upbringing and the social skills I learned, the life lessons and friends I made because I was fortunate enough to play, and how that impacted me and gave me self confidence.
I'm working for ESPN and ABC doing college football. I do NFL stuff for TSN in Canada. I'm so lucky to have this job.
The only thing I wanted to do since I was seven was play quarterback in the NFL, but as I grew older, I started to discover other interests.
I was lucky playing at Florida and for the Giants. Those were big media markets with lots of cameras around all the time. Maybe that helped me feel more comfortable on camera.
I just love that in college football, we get these big nonconference matches early. It's exciting for everybody. It's exciting for the fans and the players as well.
There are a lot of things about playing football that I miss. More than anything, I miss competing. I miss the camaraderie. I miss the locker room and the huddle and those kinds of things.
I'm never looking for excuses. However, you need to get in a rhythm to be effective at QB on a consistent basis. So being pulled from a game and then inserted back in won't always be beneficial or enhance your performance level.
When I became more aware and educated on the state of youth sports and the inability for so many who want to participate, I knew I wanted to be involved.
I've been really, really fortunate, everything from football on has been icing on the cake, so I'm living my dream.
I think Jarrett Lee is much better than people give him credit for. I think he's good enough to lead this team to a national championship.
I never tried to pigeonhole myself. I've been willing to take risks and try doing things like reality TV with 'The Bachelor' or Food Network or 'Good Morning America.'
