Montana And I Had A Chemistry That

Lynn Swann Was An Idol. It Would Amaze Me How He Could Fly Through The Air And Make Those Catches. I'll Never Forget The One Versus Dallas. It Was The Greatest Catch I've Ever Seen.

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 Used To Help Out My Father, A Bricklayer, In The Summer. I'd Catch The Bricks (that Were Dropped). And It Made Me Strong, Catching Those Bricks. I Wouldn't Change Anything About It. That's Why I'm Where I Am Today. Really.

We Have Seen Some Of The Greatest Athletes Fall Because They Have Tried To Take Shortcuts. I'm Not Going To Call Any Names But We Talk About Guys That Was Like At The Top Of Their Game That People Just Idolized. They Looked In Awe And All Of A Sudden You See Them Just Come Tumbling Down Because They Want To Take Shortcuts. I Think It's More Rewarding When You Do It The Old Fashioned Way.
