Both college and high school football get going this weekend, and you know what that means?
Yes, NFL football is only a few days away now. We assume all of that has you really pumped up already, but just in case you need to get more amped, watch this video of Baltimore Ravens defensive back Marlon Humphrey giving a rousing speech to his teammates.
Wise words from @marlon_humphrey 🫡

Said Humphrey:
“This training camp, every day I’ve been trying to enjoy every single moment. I’ve been hating going to that weight room, but I’ve tried to enjoy it. Whatever I’m doing, I’m trying to enjoy it, and its been paying dividends…
..The last thing in life, outside of real world life, inside of job life, is to get a ring. That’s all I want…let’s keep striving for that, let’s push each other…we got to put in work every single day…let’s keep putting in the work and we’re gonna get where we need to get.”
Humphrey’s rhetoric evokes some of the greatest football movie pregame and halftime speeches. Some of his prose is reminiscent of Al Pacino’s legendary “peace by inches” speech in Any Given Sunday.
