Joe Gaiter: How hungry are you to make the NFL?
Drashane Glass: I had a child at the age of 16 and he is now 6 and he is my world and he looks up to me in every way! I just want to be able to give him the world and I have a family who has never had anything nice and I would like to take care of them and change their lives. My work ethic speaks for itself, especially on the field.

Drashane Glass: My pro day was very average, I feel like I was focusing on going in too small so I lifted a lot and gained weight, which made me too heavy and slowed some of my times down.
Joe Gaiter: What do you want your legacy to be?
Drashane Glass: To show the world that anything is possible and you should never give up on your dream no matter the challenges you may face. I want to be that player that gives kids hope. I have an incredible story to tell, and I’m nowhere finished with it, it’s only going to get better from here.
