text:  Yeah, you know, Kate, I was not one of the top players. I grew really late. As a junior in high school, I played JV football. I didn't even make the varsity team as a junior. As a senior, I was all state as a tight end and a defensive end, but I was only six feet tall and 200 pounds, which is not big enough to play major college football, particularly as a lineman, which is what I was.
