Care Quote by Eric Dickerson

“I love the sport but it's definitely taken a toll on me. The first two years after I retired I was in pain and couldn't even sit in a chair for 2 years. 2 years! You want a sport that takes care of you the way you take care of the sport.” quote by Eric Dickerson — Download Open image
