First time Quote by Colin Allred
“The first time I tried out for the NFL, I got cut. I went home to Dallas to clean floors at my local YMCA. But I came back, learned the playbook inside and out and threw everything I had into special teams and all the little things that help a team win until I eventually scrapped and clawed my way onto the Tennessee Titans.”
