Playing in the NFL was my dream and playing in the Super Bowl was my even bigger dream. Of course, neither dream came true for me but years later...On Super Bowl Sunday my rookie card gets sold for 45K!! Congrats to the winning bidder! I never made it as a player to the big dance, so this humbling irony is not lost on me one bit #unpredictablelife #94.”
