NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. -- Texas outside linebacker Sergio Kindle admits he's a big softie around his 3-year-old son, Sergio Kindle Jr.
The birth of his son altered Kindle's priorities and was a life-changing experience, he said.
"Having him changed me because it's my responsibility," Kindle said. "It made me grow up and make smarter decisions. I know he's looking up to me. I feel like the things I do will reflect me and my family. I have to try to keep a clean nose and walk a straight path."
Kindle Jr. is back in Dallas with his mother. Kindle doted on him before he left Texas to play in the game. He's amazed at his child's growth and finds delight in almost everything that he does.
"He still looks like his mama," Kindle said, laughing.
Young Kindle's early toughness has caught the attention of his father.
Future quarterbacks should be considered duly warned.
"He's a tough kid," Kindle said. "He can run into a wall and get up and not cry like I used to when I was little." I wonder if Kindle cried when he drunkenly drove his car into that apartment wall at 3am a few months ago.
Yeah, sounds like he's matured a lot.
