I Had To Work Hard And Hit

Montana And I Had A Chemistry That Was Unbelievable. When I First Came Into The League He Told Me I Added Five Years To His Career, And I Just Think We Complimented Each Other Very Well And Were Able To Do Some Amazing Things Out On The Football Field.

Coming From The South, I Just Felt You Had To Work Just A Little Bit Harder. It Was Not Going To Be Handed To You. I’d Get The Letters From All The Major Schools But No One Came Out To Talk To Me Face To Face Until This Small, Dominant Black School, Mississippi State Valley University Sent A Coach Out To Me. I Had A Chance To Talk To Him And He Said, ‘hey Jerry, We’re Going To Be Doing Some Great Things At Mississippi Valley State University And We Would Love To Have You There.’

I've Grown Over The Years And I Know How To Adapt To Situations, Where I Can Go Into A Situation Where There's A Crowd Of People And Just Take Over. But Pretty Much I'm Off To Myself. And I'm Totally Committed To The Game Of Football. That's Why I've Had So Much Success.

Today I Will Do What Others Won't, So Tomorrow I Can Accomplish What Others Can't.

I Went Out There To Play My Game For The Fun Of It And Never Based My Career Around Records.
