The second-year player spoke to the media on Saturday about his offseason troubles.
"Being grateful for every day," he said at a football camp hosted by some of his teammates, via FOX 4 KC. "Nothing possible without the grace of God, so we just out here trying to share the love and be blessed for every opportunity we get.
"I’ve learned so much from (the offseason issues). All I can do is mature and continue to grow from that. This is a step in a better direction for me. Accidents and stuff like that happen, but all you can do is kind of move forward and walk around being the same person and try to be positive so that everybody could feel your love and your good energy."
