Here is an excerpt:

"I'm on that field. I want to make a play. If third-down back is what they need, I'm here. It doesn't matter."


If his phone rings this weekend, Cuttino said he'll cherish the moment, but then quickly turn the page. To him, becoming an NFL player is all about processes. You complete one, you quickly move on to another. While just getting to the big stage would be nice, Cuttino said he has more to offer. He intends on one day being the real deal, the guy offensive coordinators turn to in their moment of need.

"I have the drive to train and be the athlete that you will like. I am the guy who wants the ball. When it's fourth and inches I want the ball. I have the heart and drive to help the team as opposed to hinder the team," Cuttino said.

And if the phone doesn't ring?

"Any opportunity to get my foot into the door, I'll take. I mean, obviously, this is process. After, it's not the end. Another door will open for me to get eventually into the league. It's not a dream you give up that easily. You have to fight for it."

And fight, rest assured, Cuttino will.
