Why would anyone assume he’d somehow set the league NFL on fire. Yet, that’s exactly what happened. After 21 years in the NFL, he has seven rings!

Now, after winning his seventh ring, he has every right to be in the conversation for the greatest winner ever. It’s a great reminder to never count yourself out, even if everyone else does. The man wanted to get the job done and he did just that seven different times.
