You're always motivated 279 00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:20,440 Speaker 12: by shortcomings, but you also have to embrace the new opportunity. 280 00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:23,520 Speaker 12: Everybody has the same goal right now in the NFL. 281 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:25,959 Speaker 12: Every player has the same goal, every team has the 282 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:29,280 Speaker 12: same goal, and that's to get the Lombardi.
