NFL Player/Broadcaster Booger McFarland:
"They come into the league saying not, 'How can I be a better player?'
They don't
say, 'How can I be a better teammate?' They don't say, 'How
can I be a better
person? How can I get my organization over the hump?'"
McFarland said. "Here's what
they come in saying: They come in saying,
'How can I build my brand better?
How can I build my social media
following better? How can I work out on
Instagram and show everybody
that I'm ready to go? But when I get to the game,
I don't perform.'"
"My message to Dwayne Haskins—not just him, but the rest of the young
players
in the NFL—man, this is a game, but take it as a business. There
are billions—with
a 'b'—of dollars at stake, and until you start
approaching this game that way, until
you start coming to work coming to
work, saying, 'Y'know what? What can I do to get
better today? What can
I do to make sure my teammates are better today? How can
I put my
organization first instead of my damn Instagram?' Take it as a serious
business,
but too many times, it's a game. 'We wanna TikTok. We wanna do
all these different
things.' Man, do you know how much money is at
stake?"
