‘Wire enjoys speaking to different groups, not just athletes and feels that it is part of his responsibility as a professional athlete. "I take it as an honor," Wire said. "I realize that in today’s society, athletes are looked upon with such high esteem, especially by young kids. And everything I say and everything I do, someone could be watching and I could affect someone’s life. I want to take advantage of the gift that I have been given and the blessing to be able to play this sport and use that to help inspire others or give others hope. I know I have had a lot of help along the way. I haven’t done anything on my own, I would be silly to say that."’
