The American footballer revealed how much he would love to share the Gospel with his teammates saying
“I’ve always thought, man, I’d love to … share the Gospel with my teammates. I want to be a light to my teammates, There’s a bunch of guys in the NFL that need Jesus. We all need Him.
“Let me get to the people that may never hear, and let me be a light to them.”

There are so many times I have conversations with God throughout the day like moment by moment, minute by minute.” He said before reenacting a conversation he would have with God. “It’s like, ‘all right Lord, I need some guidance, I need some direction, what do you think about this?’ I almost talk to Him like He’s one of my friends,” he said.
