“Like Coach said, I was an undrafted free agent, right. So, it takes another level of discipline, another level of work ethic to come in here and really make a mark on this organization. Work ethic was the biggest thing. You’ve got to live, sleep, eat, and breathe it out here, man, because it’s not going to happen again. You’re not going to be 22 again with this opportunity. You’re not going to be a rookie again with this opportunity. Every time you line up on this football field, between these lines, you want to outwork any and everybody that’s around you – not just in this room, not just on this field, but everybody on all 32 teams. It’s about what you bring to the table so these coaches can see it, access it, and put it to the highest of its ability out there on the football field. That was the biggest thing for me, right. And then lastly was character. I think the biggest thing in the New York Giants organization, when you look at the guys, the Super Bowl guys that have been around here, the guys that come back, saw a couple guys have already come here to speak to you. It’s that character, man. They know how to carry themselves. They know how to greet people in this building. They know how to conduct themselves when they’re outside of this building. They know how to greet people when they’re at games, when they’re at social activities, when they’re just moving around life. They understand the magnitude of this opportunity to play for this organization and what that entails. And I knew that the very first day I walked in here. I was like, oh, this is a different beast. This is a different organization with a different set of standards. And you’ve got to hold yourself to that standard each and every day. Last but not least, man, have fun with this s—, dog. This is still a game. You’re still playing a game. You’re still a kid that’s out here playing this game at the highest level. The stakes are a little bit higher, but it’s still a game. Make sure you’re having fun when you’re in these lines, when you see your brothers out here going to war, going to battle each and every week. Have fun. Make sure you’re taking it all in because I don’t get it back. The biggest thing I miss is these grind days. Love the grind. You’ve got to love the grind. I loved coming out here, getting better, running routes. I’d be out here for hours if I got to, just to get better. Every route I feel like I got better. So, I just want to encourage y’all, man, to put your best foot forward. Continue to be great. Listen to these coaches, man. Daboll’s got a great coaching staff around you guys. Continue to do your thing, and I’ll be watching from afar and from within because this is family, right? I said this is family, right? All right, bring it in, guys. Let’s do it. I appreciate y’all. Keep balling, keep being great. Giants on three.”
