... Jerricho Cotchery’s is one we should truly listen to.

 

Growing up as the second-youngest of 13 children in a poor family, the New York Jets wide receiver learned the hard way to work toward achieving his goals.

 

Things wouldn’t get any easier as he grew up. As a matter of fact, he suffered through the most trying time of his life in 1998, while he was in high school.

 

One night after competing in basketball practice, a 16-year-old Cotchery and his best friend, Brian Talley, got into an automobile accident. Talley was thrown from the car and died moments after the crash.

 

Cotchery lost a lot of blood through several cuts on his arms, hands, and head. To this day, he still has scars caused by the remnants of shattered glass.
