[Mike Fast @MikeFastNFL]

Dear @NFL,

I promise reading this will be worth your time.

My biggest passion is to lead others through the hardships of life to the best version of themselves, and I fervently believe football is the vehicle that will help me do that the best.

With 25 years of media experience, and over a decade each as a teacher and football coach, I know my personal and professional experience will yield increasing value to your team, no matter the position.

Put it this way: What is it worth to you to have an empathetic communicator with perpetual resilience and diverse experience on your team?

You may say, "Thanks Mike, but we don't see a fit right now." To that, I'd say, "You can never have enough good people on your team."

I have tremendous respect for what you all, and the people who've come before you, have built. I have firm confidence I can help the team grow even more.

As demographics, initiatives, contracts, and policies evolve, you will need a constant.

I'm ready to get to work. Today.

Boldy and with thanks,

Mike Fast

@HighScoreReport @NFL My initial thought was Brock or Josh, but then I looked into the numbers and Love is sacked way more and has less help than those guys, yet has his team at 6-3 (including a win over the No. 2 seed Bears, which could definitely help GB win the division in the end).
