Absolutely gutted. Beyond gutted to hear the news of the passing of my dude Aldon Smith.
Can’t believe it. Mannn, just gutting.
I was so damn proud of the journey he and I took together to get him back into the league after being out of the NFL for 4 years. But also the journey we took in being real and vulnerable to try to be better in this crazy game of life.
I was proud of what we learned from each other and the brotherhood bond we formed.
Proud that after 4 years out he showed that anything is possible.
I will never forget the day when he came over to my house to sign his contract with the Cowboys so we can be proud together. But even cooler, he wanted to sign it in front of my son Sammy so he would be proud too as he had a front row seat to it all.
Soooo proud, through the ups and downs, still so proud! And I always will be.
This one definitely hurts.
RIP my brother.
