@WeAreAFCA
I was honored to kick off the convention this year with an imperative 🚨 Call To Action 🚨 message.
-Your mental and physical health are not a negotiable responsibility! Get your physicals. Know your numbers.
Take that ‘1 extra minute’ to take care of you.
Always a pleasure attending the @WeAreAFCA convention. It's a blessing to embrace the opportunity to NETWORK, LEARN and ELEVATE! Grateful for the chance to reconnect with Hall of Famer @RodWoodson26. Now it’s back to the GRIND! #TrojansUP @WlooEast_Fball @HCWillieSimmons @NCMFC1

After a couple of days to reflect, just want to say how grateful I am to be able to attend @WeAreAFCA each year.
The brotherhood that is built through this great game is something special.
