Thank you to all of my vets who gave me the freedom to use the free of charge lessons, and to all of my little brothers who backed me as the former you can rely on, it actually meant a lot to me. To all my tutors that I love, y’all hear who y’all are, THANK YOU. I’m but appreciative of each and every one of you. I want to thank God for allowing me to embark on this trip and leave in the same state of health as I did when I first started it, but DEFINITELY NOT LAST. Having said that, I’m formally leaving the NFL. I hope I left a greater impact on y’all that’s bigger than soccer. To my wife and Son, all of this was for y’all. GG’s in the interact 8 Ball Out”.
