Quote of the Day
“Getting a little taste of one snap in the NFL. it’s almost like the biggest tease of all teases, right? You’re just there to kneel the ball down, not even there to actually run a play or hand it off. I definitely have just learned to take every moment for what it is and enjoy where you’re at in this present moment and understand the capabilities and things that you could endure throughout the life and just be able to approach every day like it’s your last.”
Toronto Argonauts’ QB Chad Kelly, who has played in one NFL game
