  1. Couldn’t ask for a better mindset.

    Couldn’t ask for a harder work ethic.

    Couldn’t ask for a bigger chip on his shoulder.

    **Pop. Mf. Douglas.**

  2. This is the mind of a professional through and through. Love it or hate it, this is what that looks like. Doing that which nobody would ever ask of you, because you’re the best in your field and people rely on you.

    It’s… not always the healthiest. But it’s professional as fuck.

  3. Terrible news for him. I like his strong and positive outlook and not afraid to show softer side as well.

  4. Him and Jennings were both close to this person. He wasn’t a real uncle but the neighborhood uncle to both of them. Pretty cool how they both scored.

  5. Watching interviews and clips from Pop he’s definitely becoming my favorite player. His energy is contagious I catch my self smiling ear to ear when I watch him. Hope he recovers well ❤️. He’s going to be my first jersey I buy this Christmas sorry Drake

  6. Damn, the positivity and humility, the honestly and peace he’s radiating – that’s otherworldly

  7. Mad respect for Pop deciding to play today. Everyone would understand if he chose to take the personal leave. Thoughts and Prayers to his family

  8. I’ve loved this kid since his first training camp snaps. Everyone wanted Chism to play over him and I couldn’t disagree more. He’s so versatile and athletic for a slot, I think he gives you so much more than just volume catches.

  9. I feel like the interviewer was respectful to Pop and his uncle with his line of questioning. A good example of talking to someone grieving without shying away from the topic, without giving advice or platitudes, and just letting Pop express his feelings. I loved the part when he asked Pop what his uncle’s name is.
