STEP 3: Play to Your Strengths / Cover Your Weak Spots I was 157 lbs going against DBs 180–220. If they got their hands on me, it was over. I trained my edge, speed and quickness, and mastered the details. Leverage your strength. Fix your gaps. That’s how you #beatthecoverage.

Two defenders hit me, one high, one low. I held on and made it to the end zone. Life hits like that too, pressure from all sides. But if you’ve got purpose + grit, you don’t fold. You finish the play. 👊🏽 That’s #BeatTheCoverage. #Mindset #UnderdogMentality

You can’t wing it and expect to win. Not in sports. Not in life. Beat the Coverage is more than a mindset. It’s a system for staying ready, handling pressure, and creating wins in any environment. #BeatTheCoverage #MondayMotivation #MindsetMatters

I was 5'10", 153 lbs with a track scholarship, and I still walked on to the #Oregonfootball team. People thought I was crazy. But I wasn’t chasing approval. I was chasing purpose. Not everyone will get your choices. You don’t need them to, just commit. #BeatTheCoverage

It’s rare I come across an #NFL photo of me that I don’t already have in my collection. But this one? First time I’ve ever seen it. Big game at Arrowhead. We wanted that win badly, especially for @JoeMontana . 😉 #ChiefsKingdom #chiefs
