The Questions with Shaun Alexander
What Was Your Welcome- To-the-NFL Moment?
"I walked in the room, and Ricky Watters was standing there talking to Cortez Kennedy. I thought, Dang, I played video games with these guys in them."
Most Embarrassing Moment?
"In a scrimmage I caught a screen pass, and Maurice Kelly hit me so hard I had a dent in my helmet. The embarrassing part was when one of our managers was walking with me afterward. I said, 'Man, does it look like I'm walking funny?' He said, 'I don't know, because I'm carrying you.'"
Favorite Off-day Activity?
"Something business-related. Talking with someone who could buy something that could turn into a million dollars."
If I Weren't in the NFL,
I Would....
"Be a businessman. Like Donald Trump, but better-looking."
