Another pro-criminal bill signed into law. A “clean slate” for criminals, including those convicted of felony offenses such as assaults on police officers, domestic violence crimes, vehicular homicide, and more. Victims and their families don’t get a clean slate. My statement ⬇️

Take a look at this - Canandaigua Police say a 45 year-old man from Canada engaged in conversation with someone who he *believed to be 14* over the internet, drove to Canandaigua in attempt to meet the child for sex.

He was released on an appearance ticket.

[Coach AJ 🎯 Mental Fitness @coachajkings]

In 2005, Darren Sproles went to the NFL combine.

He was an amazing college player finishing 6th all-time in purpose yards.

But his draft stock was sliding because of his height.

He stood on stage as they measured his height and weight.

It was moment that he would never forget.

First, they announced that he was 5'6". Owners, GMs, and coaches started laughing.

Then, they announced that he was 170 pounds and they started to laugh even harder.

He called his dad that night and said, "Dad, they laughed at me."

His dad said, "You know what you to do then."

He said, "I'm going to make sure they know who I am."

NFL Analyst Daniel Jeremiah was there and he always remembers that moment. He said the chart didn't go low enough for him and he stood there as they reconfigured the height adjustment.

Jeremiah said, "What stood out to me, and if you talk to anyone in the room at that time: OK that can be a really embarrassing moment. He was such a stud, he never dropped his head, he looked everyone in the eye, he sat there waited for them to extend it down lower so they could get his height."

Sproles' ability to maintain his composure in a potentially embarrassing situation speaks volumes about his character.

He went on to be drafted in the 4th round by the San Diego Chargers and the rest was history.

Darren continued to be resilient and work hard because he always wanted to prove his doubters wrong. He said, “I wanted to be remembered as a player that gave everything he got.”

He used his work ethic, speed, and strength to his advantage to grow as a player.

He might have been short in height, but he was never small. He could squat over 700 pounds and bench over 400 pounds when some LBs couldn't do either.

He trained as hard as he could consistently. And in 2019 when he retired, he was one of the quickest and most powerful players pound for pound.

Takeaway:
You can't quantify resilience, self-belief, and determination. When you are confident in who you are, no external validation is necessary to affirm your self-worth.

We all experience fear, uncertainty, and doubt. However, it is how we respond that demonstrates our character. Darren Sproles' story serves as a powerful reminder that the spirit of perseverance can defy expectations and leave a more significant mark than any number on a chart ever could. It's not the measurements that make a champion, it's the unyielding resolve and determination.

"Whenever someone tells me that I can’t do something, I’m going to work extremely hard to prove to you that I can do something." - Darren Sproles
