Lesson here for all of us……
A little humility goes a long long way. Not reacting and retaliating in a chaotic loud manner is a talent we all should adopt.
He can’t change his height. He can’t change many things that NFL teams have as measurable. Fixed in a sense.
What he could change is his attitude, demeanor and behavior. That is in his control.
He could have come in humble, hat in hand, sincere and succinct in his desire to just get a chance, to prove himself. That resonates as loud or louder than the petty, selfish, and vulgar episodes he has had.
I try to use behavior like his to condition myself as to what not to do in life when things don’t go my way and often they don’t.
