College Quote by Randall Cunningham

“When I was coming up in high school, people were projecting I would make it to college and the pros. And they always told me, 'When you make it, don't forget where you came from.' I didn't understand what that meant. What it is, is to remember to give back.” quote by Randall Cunningham
