Being from the Motor City Michael always had to be tough. Especially being the youngest of 7 children to a single low income mother. He was also a small child so often other kids picked and bullied Michael but despite all of that going against him he was always tough and had a fighting spirt resembling to a ever burning inferno that could never be put out or dimmed. He carries that weight, that chip on his shoulder every day and brings it to the gridiron igniting every secondary in his wake.
