at Bristol Central. His tailback was Dennis Hernandez,
Aaron's father. They used to throw
that film on for us, to me, Aaron, and DJ,
and it was cool to watch that. I used to play soccer 'cause my mom
didn't want me to play football, but when I got to the point
where I was begging my parents to get me on the gridiron, you know, my mom wanted to speak
to Dennis Hernandez first. And to kind of put my mom at ease, he decided that he would start Aaron
at the same time. You know, we played our first snaps
of peewee football together. Aaron's father Dennis
became known in town when he was a star athlete in the 1970s. Dennis Hernandez
