It\u2019s a huge problem in America right now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur egos are taking over the majority of our lives,\u201d he said. \u201cA lot of us don\u2019t even know who we are anymore.

Don\u2019t get me wrong. I love doing it. But this life I have been given, this life we have all been given, is more than just chasing a ball around,\u201d said the Bills\u2019 safety, who lives in South Florida in the offseason.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s trying to impact people\u2019s lives in ways that I never could have fathomed that I could. I love doing it,\u201d he said. \u201cI love going to see Gabby at the hospital who had been paralyzed by a drunk driver. \u2026 the smile that she has when I walk in there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Poyer talked about connecting with those who are from diverse backgrounds.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo think 20 years ago that I could make someone smile by just walking into a room.
