KELLEY WASHINGTON, Tennessee football
Think this mama's boy is cocky? You're right.
Last person who called you: My mother. She called just to tell me that she
loves me. I speak to my mom every single day. I'm usually the one who calls
her. Sometimes it's only a two-minute conversation, but it's important to me
that my mom knows that I'm thankful for her. I can't remind her of that
enough.
CD on repeat: Sanchez's album Stays On My Mind. He's a reggae
artist. I only listen to reggae music. It really all started when I was
playing minor league baseball. Everyone around me seemed to be listening to
reggae, even some of my opponents who were playing in places like Indiana and Michigan.
Most daring move: When I said I was the best receiver in the country, that
was pretty daring. I really put myself out there. Of course, I was and am
ready to back it up, but the press has blown it out of proportion, and now I
hear about it all the time.
Biggest misconception about you: People think I'm a cocky person,
that I'm arrogant because of my confidence in what I can do on the field. But
really, I'm a down-to-earth guy who loves his family and would do anything
for his mother.
Pasttime passion: I write love songs to R&B music. The lyrics and music never
been performed by anyone, and no one's really seen them. Basically, they're
an expression of the love and respect I have for my family. I keep them to
myself, but someday, I'll share them with my wife. You're a time traveler. Where and when are you going?: I'd go back to the 50s and 60s here in this country. I'd like to see the environment that brought about people like Martin Luther King, Jr. It was a time when African Americans came together and had real unity. They fought for what they believed in, and it would inspire me .
