Question 1: Why did you decide to work with Depend® and ZERO on The Depend® Campaign to End Prostate Cancer?

I got a phone call about being a spokesperson with Depend® and ZERO and I didn't know much about it. Once I told my wife that I was thinking about it, she researched it and came back to me with information that was alarming: African-American men are twice as likely to have traces of prostate cancer in their system through their lifetime. That made me want to talk to my doctor. He said African-American men should get tested earlier than everyone else.

It made me want to get more involved. I was 44 years old [at the time]. I was sharing my story with a person who works at the Hall of Fame and he said that Mike Haynes, one of the greatest cornerbacks ever and a Hall of Famer, was tested at 44 and had elevated levels for prostate cancer, and it woke me up. I immediately said, "I have to go get tested."
