QUOTE FROM DARRYL
These guys are the goods. They dream big like me and they believed in me from the jump. From the first time we met they told me I would get drafted. They knew my game and they knew my strengths and weaknesses. They kept it real with me. Kept me hungry and humble but also gave me everything I could ever want or need during this process to get drafted. We planned on getting drafted. They got me bigger, stronger and faster that I ever been. They prepared me mentally and physically to dominate my pro day and to start in the NFL. I got drafted. I started in my first NFL game and I owe it to Rich Sports.
