Key quotes from Jorvorskie Lane interview

“I was just doing my nightly routine, just making sure my property was safe and I saw the truck light on ... at first I blamed it on my wife. When it didn’t seem so, I approached the situation and when I saw the guy I made sure he didn’t have any weapons and I approached him.”

“I asked him ‘What are you doing man?’ and he explained to me that his mom wasn’t there and his father was in prison so I told him I understood, and that if the cops just took him to jail I wouldn’t press any charges on him, so he could learn something. Right now I’m in the process with the juvenile center of learning his background, and talking to his teacher to find out what kind of kid he is.”

“Kids now a days are just getting into situations when they don’t feel loved and I’ve been through that also. I want to get him help before something else happens.”

“As a kid, I told myself I wanted to play in the National Football League, and I had the talent. I stuck with it and I give all the grace to God.”

“In 2012, I was living in Dallas with my step-dad at the time. There's just something about me, my drive I had that told me I could play with these guys. I stuck with it and I was in Dallas working out and I just took it into my own hands and started networking. I got myself in shape and then Miami called. I had a good rookie year, but then I got cut. I was back in Houston after that and got a call from Tampa Bay asking if I was in shape. I wasn't in tip-top shape, but I wasn't going to tell them that. I told myself once I got that last call that I wasn't leaving the NFL until it was time for me to exit on my own terms.”

“I love Lovie Smith, he's a great guy. He lets us be athletes, and he lets me be me off the field. He gives us one thing and that's when it’s time to work, it’s time to work. When it’s time to go home, it’s time to go home.”

“I love Mike Evans. Right now I look at him as if he was my little brother. He works hard and the sky is the limit for him. He just turned 21 years old, he’s going to be a real good one.”

“The Bucs being behind me during this suspension shows me that I can go to work for this man. With no if ands or buts, I'm there for Lovie Smith.”

"Texas A&M, that’s my home. Once an Aggie, always an Aggie. I just moved to Kingwood, and there’s nothing but Aggies over here too, it’s my third home.”

You have a good heart Jorvorskie. I loved watching you play at A&M. I will always remember the Missourri and Fresno State games.

Attaboy!! Hang in there Jorvorskie. I think that I finally spelled his name correctly. Never realized it was so unique.

He was actually lucky. Very lucky, that he didn't get shot by that "kid".

We need more stories like this. Too often they're the other way around. Makes me proud to be an Aggie. Hope the kid gets the kind of help and mentoring he needs to get his life squared away.
