Who was one player you admired growing up?
"I didn't really watch too much football when I was growing up because I was more of a baseball player. But I heard a lot about Warren Sapp, and being from North Carolina, I used to hear about Rod Coleman all the time. I used to watch Chipper Jones, and I also had a cousin, Sean Ross, that used to play for the Braves. I pretty much just followed the Braves because they were my favorite team back then.
