Football Quote by Collin Sexton
“At first you see a lot of people say 'Oh he's good, but he can't shoot' or 'Oh he's good, but can his shot translate to the NBA?' That just made me go into the gym and work that much harder to show and prove that I can shoot outside shots, and I can make shots.”

![“Well, Bill [Bill Hickok] was a pretty good shot. But he could not shoot as quick as half a dozen men we all knew in those days, nor as straight either. But Bill was cool, and the men who he went up against were rattled, I guess. Bill beat them to it. He made up his mind to kill the other man…” quote by Buffalo Bill](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/e9c/buffalo-bill-11793_beats_well-bill-bill-hickok-was-a-pretty-good_381801.jpg)
