"He Hate Me" interview.....

Q: What do you expect to get out of the Retired Players Convention and what has it brought to retired players over the years?

A: I think it provides a big opportunity to network with other retired players. These are folks that played the game, know the game and want to continue being involved with [other] folks of that caliber. A lot of these folks I met, I ran into them someway or somehow, but it’s a good opportunity to meet folks that reach out to one another and wouldn’t mind helping one another if they need it.

Q: Speaking of which, it seems kind of like a fraternity amongst the retired players.

A: Right, right. As long as you keep in touch with those folks in this fraternity, there is always a better opportunity out there in life.

Q: Being a younger guy, do you still love and miss the game, and what do you know that an older retired guy might not be in touch with these days?

A: Well, some of the things I know, I guess a lot of things have changed since they played and my last year was 2006. Money opportunities have changed and it doesn’t help that the economy is the way it is today, but we can always find ways to get information from each other and help one another some way or somehow. I know one guy will be able to help me in some way and vice-versa. I might have knowledge that can help an older retired player and he may have knowledge to help me in certain ways. It all depends on what we are here for and what we are trying to get out of this and making it happen—looking out for each other.

Q: I just want to get a quick update on your life and what keeps you busy these days.

A: Well, kids actually. I’m working back in Charlotte, N.C. with kids at a high school coaching football. Most of them are kids with behavioral problems but it’s a fun thing I’m doing. A lot of the kids have had their lives changed and some of them I may not get to, but for the most part I’m able to make a change. I’m just reaching out to these kids in the world and it’s kind of me giving back even if it’s not my hometown. It’s a great thing because growing up I never had a professional athlete reach out to me and teach me the ropes about life and whatnot. So me being able to do this, it makes me and the kids happy. A lot of them look up to me as a role model and a mentor, so it’s a fun thing for me and I’m going to continue to do this as long as possible. I also know that it’s always going to be out there for me to do.

    • The problem with drafting a DE/EDGE high in the 1st is the bust factor.  That position group busts at a scary rate.  We HAVE to hit our first 3 rounds.  Cant take chances on tweeners or potential guys.
    • Man folks right on this site said Deion was gonna follow his son to the nfl and have a big impact on his draft stock with his interference and yet we have seen no such thing. He just signed an extension to stay in Colorado for the foreseeable future. The only thing we have seen is so called experts try to tank shedeurs stock with false accusations and rumors and deion just had to step in and shut it down. This why you have to stop listening to what certain people say. Too much hate and emotion in most opinions. 
    • That's sound logic! I think we could make a case for a few players. I know its not popular  with a few but Warren gives to the  identity we want. Tremble is mostly a blocker. Sanders flashed late but mostly a receiving  threat at the moment. Warren is an automatic 1st down, run blocks, runs the ball and can even line up and throw it. To me he is if you took the Taysom Hill and actually could play tight end too. I just think looking at Goedert, Kelce,  Laporta, Hoeckenson, Baltimore Tight ends, Knox and Kindcaid and etc... all the  last few teams had stellar Tight end play. Warren allows you to be unpredictable  on offense bc he is equally good at being a target, as he is a blocker. Don't want to run Bryce on a qb sneak, plug Warren in with the threat to pass. I would be happy with him, Walker or a few others. As long as the player isn't riding the bench year 1.
