“It takes a unique person to strap it up and go out and hit people. It’s even more unique to have the mental and physical makeup of an offensive lineman, a gentle giant. To be bigger and stronger than anyone you know. To be humble enough not to need all the attention. To be crazy enough to go through practice, mean enough to physically dominate some one else, and smart enough to pick up on the playbook and never, ever be allowed to make a mistake. Linemen don’t play for the attention, the money, or the women. They play for the love of the game. Every lineman hates practice because their practice is the hardest. But the game is a drug. It keeps you coming back no matter what. Linemen play with the knowledge that everyone else depends on them to win. They only want respect from teammates, opponents, and family. They play for the pure satisfaction of giving it everything they have and coming through when everyone is counting on them. They play to win. They play for the pure essence of the game.” – Ryan Jordan, Former Offensive Lineman -

This game is much more than a drug! It’s LOVE. It’s that first block you get that goes for a touchdown, it’s that first tackle or sack. Theres no words that could ever verbalize for me at least how much i love and honor this game. Without it im NOTHING, with it im INSAINE. The edrinaline rush you think is to much too handle at first until you use it on someone else. if anyone does like the feeling of going completely insane on the football field is nuts.because to be able to take all that pain,struggle, and life problems and use that as fuel is what make a great football player the greatest ever football player well to me at least.
