“To my number one pick, welcome to life. You’re already perfect and here’s some advice. Love the game, whatever you play. Water your dreams with hard work, every day. Tune out the haters, ignore all the chatter, respect every player. Watch out for linebackers who drop into coverage early, especially on a play action. Stay focused, stay hungry, be loyal and lead. When the team feels like family, that’s all that you need.”
He also tells his young daughter to ignore the outside noise and to pursue her dreams. He also tells her that hard work is how she will make her dreams come true.
