I remember every game in my head as if I am watching them play over and over and over again in my mind. Thinking back, I can see mistakes that I made and plays and tackles I messed up on, but also big accomplishments, plays, and tackles I don't even know how I was able to do.

They threw a pass that was thrown short, and it went into the hands of our cornerback. At that point, I thought it was
