Especially for someone who followed him from HS to the NFL. Dude was a myth in Texas HS Football. He had tales like he was Paul Bunyan or something.

And at UT, it was just like he described. It looked like he was just having FUN out there. He just didn't look the same once he got to the NFL.

I hope the last part of the story is true ("He made it happen. He protected his family. He got ’em out."). From what wikipedia says, he's had some major financial problems. But wikipedia isn't real life, so who knows.
