He regrets judging Trent Richardson's performance based on statistics rather than considering the human context of the athlete's life.

“I've learned now as I've grown to never focus on the value of the entertainment over the value of the human which is why I can walk in locker rooms and be received the way uh I am when I reached out to you initially it was to have the chance to look you in the face and say I'm sorry”

He accepts personal responsibility for his career path, acknowledging that his lack of maturity and inability to heed guidance led to poor decisions.

“I don't put blame on the situation and the program it if for me it was me because I didn't I didn't have that talk to me and and if it was I wasn't listening”
