Rise of the Rams

With OTAs underway and training camp coming into focus over the next couple months, the 2018 NFL season is nearly upon us. I expect it to be an exciting one, especially for the team I spent most of my NFL career with, the Rams. Expectations are as high as they've been for the franchise in [...]

Bellwether of Change

As another NFL Draft approaches this weekend, I think everyone knows by now that I'm really going to be paying attention one thing above all else: what happens with the running backs. I’m very interested to see where Saquon Barkley and other top running backs are chosen, and how that trickles down to the rest [...]

I've been known to travel the world, but never before had I taken a trip with so much purpose. When my longtime St. Louis teammate Chris Long approached me to be [...]

The Playoff Experience

Last weekend, I had the incredible opportunity to take my sons Skyler and Kingston to the Rams/Falcons playoff game at the Coliseum. It was a great father-son day, to say the least. Believe it or not, I’ve never sat down and watched an NFL football game with them live, so that in itself was a [...]

Wild Card weekend always has the potential for some surprises, and I'm really excited about the AFC side of things with three newcomers in play.

My New Role

I’ve been retired a year-and-a half now and I can tell you that the first year wasn’t easy. Fortunately, I had prepared for my career to end, mentally and financially. But my body was so used to the routine that in June and July, training camp months, I would just wake early and look at [...]

A Time To Speak

This past weekend, I took it upon myself to travel to Washington D.C. to visit the National Museum of African American History and Culture, as they celebrated their first anniversary. I picked this weekend's voyage because I needed to see first hand what my ancestors endured so I could speak to the root of the issue [...]

AP, Marshawn and the State of the Running Back

I’ve seen the headlines. There are going to be some big names at the running back position wearing new uniforms in 2017. Adrian Peterson to New Orleans. Marshawn Lynch to Oakland. I respect both of those guys for pursuing new opportunities. As much as fans are crazy about their respective teams, players are crazy about [...]

I’ve taken a break from social media over the NFL offseason, but now that football is back, I wanted to catch everyone up on what I’ve been up to. Since my last game with the Patriots, I decided to dive in and really get back into school, and to fulfill a promise that I made [...]
