Quotes

'The IF in Life... The title alone speaks volumes. As a fellow NY Giant, I've come to know Rashad as a genuine mentor. He taught me the difference between being an NFL player and a pro-athlete. His deeply missed presence in the locker room is a great testament to the incredible obstacles he has tackled to get to where he is today. This book chronicles that story and gives you great principles for handling the IFs of life along the way! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!'--Odell Beckham, Jr.--NFL All-Pro Wide Receiver for the NY Giants Odell Beckham, Jr.—NFL All-Pro Wide Receiver for the NY Giants
