It was important for him to bring that tribute with him to the NFL.

"It means a lot to me," he told Draftwire. "That was my mom’s sister, and it hit us pretty hard. My family struggled with her passing. It was tough for us. I just always want to remember her and honor her memory. I wear pink gloves throughout the month of October as well."
