I won't name everybody, but he got a bunch of defensive backs in the league and became the DB Guru.womens LeSean McCoy Jersey,

,He passed away on Nov. 11 and services were held Saturday.Authentic Mike Tolbert Jersey

He didn't let anyone touch his DBs. He was really sensitive about his DBs. I can see God telling him, like, it's your time. It's your time to go.' And I can see him telling God, 'Nah, man, no one can touch my DBs.' And I can see God using one of his words, Authentic Cam Newton Jersey'Man, 'You the coldest. It's time. You've got to come to heaven because you the coldest. You the baddest." T.P. accepted it.womens Jim Kelly Jersey,

My offensive coordinator, Phillip Shelley, those two were really good friends and my sophomore and junior year, I made a three-hour drive every weekend for two years straight, in high school, just to get work. I got a lot of exposure and got a lot of good work when I was getting recruited as a DB. He kind of put me in a position with my name being bounced around on Rivals and Scout.com and things of that nature when I was in high school. The exposure and the dedication and pushing yourself and those things, I got all from T.P.womens Cam Newton Jersey

I was heavily recruited in high school as a DB — from Cal to Oregon State, like I knew, he’d accept you in. That's what he talked about. When he went down to the College of Sequoias, Nebraska. I definitely was in the DB Guru group. It's not even the fact that you had to be a DB to get into this group. If you just were a kid that wanted to play college football and use football as an education tool, he accepted you no matter what you wanted to be.. womens Sammy Watkins Jersey, I was going to go down there to go play DB for him. When I decided to make the move to go play junior college football, I went down to the College of Sequoias, that my heart was in playing running back. He knew that just watching me play in high school. He had no hard feelings and even when I was at Laney, Washington State,When I was getting recruited, but he knew, I was going to play for him, he was just keeping in touch with me. That was a good thing. Even though he was the DB Guru,

What he did for the community of Fresno, it's just amazing.Authentic Kawann Short Jersey,

You hear that west of Fresno — that's the tougher part of Fresno — that kids grew up in, which is really, the situation I was in, when you've got a guy who's letting you know that you can be better in life, he gives you that. Life is not made for you to come in and take it away. Life is made for you to come in and do something humongous. And that's something that he did. He put that in all of us. He instilled that in all of us, kind of like north Vallejo, really amazing.Authentic Sammy Watkins Jersey,

be confident in your craft, confidence, confidence,He inflated the kid with confidence. He pushed it so much: confidence, confidence. Be confident in yourself, but work on your craft. It's hard work. Those are the best memories that I have of T.P.

and now at 25 or 26, and he brought a couple kids down from Fresno to join the camp, which was fun. It was just crazy. When you think back,He came down to my camp in the summer of 2016. So he got to talk to my kids in my community, I was 15 or 16 making that drive to Fresno every day, he was driving down bringing kids to my camp.Authentic Luke Kuechly Jersey

It's crazy how life comes full circle.womens Lorenzo Alexander Jersey

My foundation, helping kids that way, came from what I learned from T.P. Having the Dreams Never Die Foundation now, a lot of the teachings I got from T.P. will be instilled in those kids back in my community because that's something he would have told me.Authentic Jim Kelly Jersey

It's just huge, especially coming from the communities and parts of the towns we grew up in. It's just huge that you've got that one guy who believes in you, 'You need to believe in yourself at a high level.' It's amazing. It's huge, and T.P.'s definitely going to be missed.Authentic LeSean McCoy Jersey, who's telling you,,

The service was beautiful.womens Mike Tolbert Jersey

I asked V.J. if I could go. I told him how much this really means to me, went to the visitation and got to spend some time with the family, pretty much, told him it would be in Fresno, of course, which is about two hours away from San Francisco. I flew in Friday night, how close he was to me and, V.J. said it was good and I gave him all the details, because I know them. Because we played in Oakland, I got to fly in Friday night. Then everyone else flew in Saturday morning for the funeral and the service. I was there until about 1 o'clock and then drove down to San Francisco.womens Kawann Short Jersey
