In fact, only about 1500 guys will suit up and play in the NFL each year. I have come along way in my journey to become one of these 1500 players and it most certainly has not been easy. I have put in countless hours of practice, training, studying, etc...have given up summers, nights out, and holidays...played through pain...bled, sweat, and cried all to get where I am today. I believe it is these things, more so than just pure talent and athletic ability that separate the players who make it to the NFL and those that don't.
