Football in perspective

[heyzeus]

It was like being in a car accident. Everything was fast, then it was suddenly slow motion. I was running down on punt coverage against Dallas last season, like I’ve done a thousands times before. I pushed off on my blocker. I turned to my left. I saw a white jersey.

Car crash.

Amazing read from a player's point of view that puts a lot in perspective. Ricardo Lockette has a career ahead of him in writing, motivational speaking, coaching, being a rock star....

God, when I saw that happen I seriously thought I just watched someone die on live TV. I'm glad the dude is alive and doing well and glad he has found a new purpose. Wish him nothing but the best.

Good story. Good decision by Lockette to walk away from football with the right attitude. Good insight into Lynch, who is obviously a good guy where it counts.

Thanks for sharing this.  Great perspective on what is really important in life.

I think that is life in perspective. Honestly, that line of thinking that Carroll talks about is the only thing that actually gets me through school. I suppose it's a very personal message.
