These comments from high school football coach Biff Poggi on his former player Cyrus Jones, the former Alabama defensive back and current New England Patriots player, are SPOT-ON...the comments are here:

"He's been very consistent in his willingness to compete, and I can't stress that word enough," added Poggi, "because in a world of entitlement - which we are rocketing toward today in all facets of our society - true competitors,  people that want to compete and earn things, are very rare. 
 
"He's learned to harness his competitiveness, which is virtually off-the-charts, into positives, instead of self-destructiveness. Instead of becoming downcast if he doesn't do well, he turns it now into motivation to compete at the highest level. He would count his own catches and drops during practice and keep track of them for his whole career. He wanted to compete every day. He loved practice."
