You've met him before so you would be better to judge but he just always strikes me as completely inauthentic. Charging churches $50k to speak, trying to charge Elway $50k for a charity appearance, the "look at me" praying before games. That and the fact that he basically steals jobs from deserving athletes, whether it be baseball or football, and it becomes a sideshow. He was done failing in baseball so he decided to try and steal a job from an actual NFL caliber TE via the Florida good ole boy network. He didn't want to move to TE 10 years ago and even refused to play in the wildcat with the Jets but now when he is running out of options athletically he figures it's time?
In case you couldn't tell I really despise the guy, perhaps irrationally, but I have never understood the hype around a guy who is so laughably bad as a professional athlete.
