Hello, I am @jrberendzen on Twitter and this is one of my free agent interviews where I ask very deserving free agents questions about the players themselves and about what a team would get in these players.

11.How do you handle challenges both in life and on the football field?

  • Basically, I handle them with a grain of salt, head-on, and get through all the adversity on and off the football field.
