Many NFL players never get the honor of winning a Super Bowl. Former Tiger Antoine McClain was lucky enough to win one in his first season. TheClemsonInsider.com caught up with Antoine to get the latest.
“It was great. It was beyond what I imagined,” said McClain.
Did Antoine ever dream of winning a Super Bowl in his first season?
“Knowing the ravens history going into training camp, I really thought we had a shot. But after the AFC Championship I was like wow we are going to the ship!,” replied McClain.
Ray Lewis caught the nation’s attention as he pushed to win a Super Bowl in his final game. What was that like for Antoine and his Raven teammates?
“Well that kinda put an extra peep in our step! He is a really great guy, always willing to take a young guy under his wing,” replied McClain.
Although Antoine was on the practice squad this season, he felt like his game improved from as the year went along going against the Ravens defense every day.
“It was fun, but I felt myself getting better going against our defense everyday! They called us the best look team in the world! But it was eye opener for me because I learn a lot,” said McClain.
Antoine feels good about his future with the Ravens.
“I am very positive they really feel good about me next year, but I have to go do my part and have a great offseason,” said McClain.
