“The fact that I get to play golf with good people and give money back to our charity. I’m not someone who loves playing golf, but I love raising money for our charity.”

“Sarah and I have always had a special place in our hearts for the special needs community.”

“That transitioned to 3-2-1 Coffee and now Gigi’s Playhouse, a group that works with special needs people... a lot of down syndrome, and they work with our program a lot.”

“We do a night called Victory Day with them where they go through practice with us, score touchdowns, and celebrate.”

“It was a fun spring. We have a lot of experience on our roster, a lot of guys who have played snaps. Our spring was more about getting the rest of them in the mix and developing what is behind our experience... seeing where guys can get better from the season.”

“It’s kind of a sneak peek in the spring game, but we’re excited about where we’re at and where we’re headed.”

“We have high expectations as a coaching staff and a team. If we didn’t feel we were getting that respect we'd be upset.  We're excited that people are seeing what we’re doing, but we don’t think that wins games for us.  It's just recognition.  It’s not anything that helps you win and we can’t be complacent because we gained that recognition.  It’s a team that deserves it. They've worked hard and they’ve earned it.”

“We go up to Lake Gaston, that’s kind of our getaway... Lake Gaston is kind of where we hide out. That's our spot.”
