It would still be that same dream come true that every kid thinks about.” Bohannon recently claimed while talking about featuring in the NFL.

This past year when the idea came up again I thought maybe God is trying to tell me something, maybe I should pursue it,” Bohannon said, as reported by wkbn.com. “It was the game plan that was brought to me, I believed in it and we are in the process of executing that game plan so I have the best shot of making it happen.”

I have been blessed to be mentored by Marcus Pollard,” Bohannon told wkbn.com. “So he has been great to pick his brain and tell me what it takes to play the position and also another bridge of confidence that this can be done if you put in the work,” he further stated.
