The other had a big "R" written on it.<br /><br />From midgets all the way until my last game in college, I still screwed up a few drop steps. There are still a few quarterbacks and running backs that want to put a hurting on me.<br /><br />Tell Dat that I wish him best of luck this year.<br /><br />Peace, ~~AlexSanctifying Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11587567660211753210noreply@blogger.com
