saying “look good, play good” which had an impact
on our young football player who embraces that if you look and feel good, it will translate on the field! Hell yeah!
Fashion and sports, Isaiah’s fire within does not stem from nowhere. Who he has become today,
he owes a lot to his brother. “ Everything was a competition between us. He may not have known
but I was always watching him and what he did,”
shared Isaiah candidly. “He happened to be a great role model that helped me become who I am
today! Shoutout to Mario!” It’s always important
to take a moment and think of the people in our lives who push us to be better...thankful for those! Isaiah Simmons is starting off his football career,
one that was programmed from him since birth.
Bringing together fashion and sports, his heart and soul are truly inspiring to us all. Hoping to
leave a great legacy in the NFL, the young player most importantly hopes “to be known as a great
father/husband who served the Lord!” Powerful.
Goosebumps. Ready to take it to the next level in all areas of his life, career, and passion, there is no doubt we will be seeing a lot more of Isaiah!
“God gives his toughest battles to his strongest soldiers.”
