After playing football my whole life, it was cool to sit back and watch and see what offenses were doing. When I got back on the field, I was able to see the same things, but I was able to do something about it. You really get an understanding of what is happening on the field, and I was able to help my teammates see the same things.

To me, just getting back on the field after everything that has happened is an accomplishment in itself. But winning an award like that, being recognized by your teammates, to me is the highest reward you can get.
