Part 5/7:
Despite having secured a spot on the Rams, my journey was far from over. In 1998, the night before the final roster cuts, there was uncertainty surrounding who would fill the third-string quarterback position. Coach Dick Vermeil and his staff found themselves at a crossroads, facing a split decision about who to keep on the team. The ultimate choice fell on Vermeil, whose instincts would determine my fate.
Walking through Rams Park, I reflected on my earlier struggles when I ran into Coach Vermeil. It was an eerie but unforgettable moment—I found out I had made the team in those very halls where just days prior I had bemoaned my failures.
