Walt Garrison (Walt) Quotes

To be honest with you, when Dallas drafted me, I was going to school to be a veterinarian. I said I'll go down there, see if I can play. If I can, that's good. If I can't, I'll be back in school. My goal was to play one year on the taxi squad. That's real high expectations. Then I made the team, and I wanted to be a starter, and after Perk retired, I got to be a starter. I wanted to make the Pro Bowl, and I did that. I wanted to be all-pro, and I never did that.
