The season being suspended would he ultimately very frustrating for myself. I've been working hard all season to become a high pick in the upcoming draft, and I'm worried about how it would affect my draft stock to have so much less footage for the scouts to work with. Luckily Matt Cross and I have a full gym in our ridiculous mansion in Norfolk. Even if we were quarantined we'd still be able to keep our fitness up and encourage each other. Matt and I already play Madden all the time, maybe we could organize a tournament online with some other players in the league, if only to give the fans a little something to cheer for while I know they're stuck home and worried too. I don't want to seem scared, I think athletes and entertainers like us have a responsibility to not panic in front of the public. We're only people, but we have to project strength into society, because like it or not, we're role models. So sure, the league being suspended would be rough. It would be boring. It would be scary. But we'll do what we can to project courage. That's what the people of Norfolk need.
