‘“He’s just a special human being,” tight end Lee Smith said. “It’s hard to be in a bad mood when you’re around that guy. It’s human nature sometimes as players and coaches after a loss or after a tough week, you’re dealing with an injury, you can get down, but when there’s a dude like that around – he’s always just in the best mood like it’s the best day of his life. He just brings pure and good energy to everyone who’s around him.”’
