In a world of so many prima donnas, it's nice to read about someone who keeps their head down (while keeping it up), puts in all of their effort, and had a good attitude about their situation even when it may not be going as they had previously planned.
I'm sure that when Tana was being recruited he was envisioning himself as a college football star and a first-round NFL Draft Pick. And I'm sure he envisioned at least that first part happening before his fifth year in college. That may yet happen in his final year and I hope it does. However, if it doesn't, he seems to have his head screwed on straight about it and looks prepared to do just fine even without an NFL career, if that's the hand he's dealt.
Not only has he put in his time and effort on the field, he's done it in the classroom with a clear vision of what his life can be without football - rather than wasting that opportunity like so many players have in the past.
