Called by ESPN Analyst Bill Curry and former collegiate head coach as "a great, great football player who can walk on the field and change the game. He's that good," there was a time in Michael Clayton's life where the game of football was his main passion and purpose in life. Then came a moment when Michael realized he needed to chase something else besides perfection on the football field. Each of us has ideals and after eight years in the league, Clayton started to chase and strive for his: compassion, solemnity, uprightness, charity. Clayton never gave up the chase for perfection on the field; he just started working harder toward perfection off of it. Chasing My Rookie Year is not a quest for glory. It is a quest for life's purpose.
