00:00After all this makeup, I have freckles, nappy hair, that mix is really demonstrated in my
00:10long and kind of crazy name, Maria de la Soledad Teresa Marchetti O'Brien.
00:15I want my children to feel proud of who they are.
00:18I always thought where my mom was born is being this point of differentiation.
00:23Even gave me a little edge actually.
00:25As soon as I get to the end zone, I drop the football.
00:27I'm thinking in my head like, man, I got to do this salsa now.
00:29I'm happy that I'm dark, that I look like an Indian, and I'm happy that I have this smile and dimples to go with it.
00:35I'm a father, I'm a husband, Texas Aggie, but the most precious identity for me is as an American.
