Some coaches I talked to at different colleges asked whether, if I saw something and I had to make a call, I would stutter in the heat of the game. Perhaps they were scared that if I were to stutter on the field it might affect or hurt the team.
Coach Lane is honestly the person who taught me how to play football. I had thought that because I watched and had knowledge about football, I knew what to do on the field. But it's a whole different world actually being out there. He really built me up from nothing. He took the time—and had the patience—to actually teach me what to do, how to do it and how to understand the concepts of play.
If I see something and then have to tell my teammates, I will not stutter. I just feel like it comes down to being comfortable. I have played in a lot of football games and I have felt everything you can feel, so I am comfortable in the heat of the game. My speech therapist will tell me that if I'm stuttering and I'm stuck on a word, I shouldn't try to force it out. I should stop and let the word roll out by itself. If you try and force it out then more tension will build up in your face and that can make you stutter more. If you let the words roll out the tension in your face will begin to ease up.
In the next few weeks I have to choose between coming back for another year of college football or if I want to enter my name into thedraft. I graduate in December, so it's a big choice to make. But it has to be made so I will talk to my family and my coaches and we will all come to a decision.
