Talking about the most important day in his life, he said, “That’s the day I got baptized and went public with the decision of shedding my old life and putting on the new and starting a relationship with Jesus Christ. The day will come that I won’t be a part of any football team. But the decision I made during my sophomore year in high school — to be a part of Team Jesus — I’ll be a part of that team for the rest of my life, and for all eternity.”
