‘Growing up in Texas, you were a baseball star as well as a football star, and the Atlanta Braves offered you $150,000 to play in their minor league system. Why did you decline and play college football instead?
"I didn’t want to go that far away. I was 18 at the time. I turned it down because I told them I wanted to go to college and play football. It was a pretty nice bonus and after I told them I wasn’t going to sign they asked me what would it take for me to sign, but I still turned it down because I wanted to play college football. I have no regrets whatsoever."’
