    “I just loved his mindset and his overall approach to the game of football, to his life, and to the detailed process that he had. I love the way he carried himself on the field through pressure situations. I think much of that had to do with his training and his ability to execute under any circumstance.

    “He’s done a lot for this area. It’s cool to have been able to see that since I was a kid. And, it’s kind of cool to see the end of [his career] because it’s a humbling experience.

    “At the end of the day, no matter how hard you work or what you do, there’s always a moment when you have to step away and step into a different arena. I’ll remember that the most.”
