At the 2005 NFL Combine, Darren Sproles stood as they measured his height. 5'6". GMs and coaches laughed. Then they announced his weight...170 pounds. They laughed even harder. That night, he called his dad and said, "They laughed at me." That moment changed everything.👇

Kirby Smart said, "The disease that creeps into your program is called entitlement...We have a saying around our place, we eat off the floor. If you're willing to eat off the floor, you can be special." Entitlement is the enemy of hard work. It's the delusion that you deserve

Despite the doubts, Sproles was drafted in the 4th round by the Chargers. He said, "I wanted to be remembered as a player who gave everything he had." He earned it and worked for it every day. He became one of the best all-purpose RBs in the NFL.
