Texas Longhorns wide receiver Adonai Mitchell shared his motivation for his football dreams ahead of the 2024 NFL Draft on Thursday.
Mitchell, who is considered to be a late first-round pick, reveals his daughter as the main motivation for his football dreams.
"She was the main factor in everything," Mitchell said. "That’s my world, that’s my heart. That’s who I wake up and do it for. I knew that I had to come home and I had to get that time back that I wasn’t able to get with my daughter.
"Life that I want her to have includes her spending time with her father out of everything that was the main thing that I wanted to gain from moving to Texas. The best opportunity was here in Austin the best coach was here in Austin best family-based system was here in Austin."
"Once I came here I felt home and I knew that I could bring my daughter here anytime that was pretty much all the reassurance I needed to," he added. "That’s what I wake up and do it for. That’s the whole reason why I wanna be a better man a better person. I want her to have the best life that she can possibly have."
It was a great video showing off the key reason for Mitchell and him pursuing their NFL dreams, which will come to fruition at the NFL Draft.
