QUOTABLE "I know I'm not the most athletic. I know I'm not the biggest. But I've always kind of thought of it as things I can control. I can control how strong I get. That's the weight room. I can control if I get faster. That's me putting in the work and sprinting. I like to control the things that I can control."
