DA: Not really, because you know he is three years older than I am. As a little kid, you don't hang out with your older brother very much until you are quite older. Did I somewhat follow in his footsteps? Yes. I watched everything he did. When I got to High School, I had the understanding to talk to him, and what it took to be a good player. He was a great player. We were both quarterbacks in high school. MM: You have won several Grey Cups. Was there one more significant than the other? DA: All of them have its own significance in a different way. They were won on four different teams. I won my first Grey Cup Championship with the Edmonton Eskimos, then got traded to another team, and returned to Edmonton to win another one. The fourth one was when I played with the Toronto Argos. It was memorable because it was against the BC lions, where I had previously won my 3rd Grey Cup. It is always fun to win against a team you previously played for. MM: If there is one inspiring notion you can tell readers and fans, of not only living the dream in football, but also achieving their own personal goals, what would you tell them? DA: I think that it is important to focus on the past, present, and future. You use your past to learn from mistakes. You got to take advantage of what you have, and what is given to you. The future depends on how you motivate and organize yourself. Share This Article:
