I hung my cleats.

Last fall marked the end of my football journey.

As hard as it was to hang up my cleats, it's amazing how gratifying it is to pay it forward.

I now have the opportunity to give those 20+ years of playing a whole new meaning, and I couldn't be more grateful for that.

If we're willing to see it - and I certainly didn’t see it right away - there's always something good waiting for us behind moments of negativity.
