Saints
Saints LB Manti Te’o has been a healthy inactive for the past month, but he says it’s a learning experience for him.
“It’s a learning experience,” Te’o said, via Nola.com. “You learn to control the controllable, and there’s a lesson in every experience and you just got to learn the lesson and move on.”
“The lesson for me is that I just take every opportunity that I get to get better,” Te’o added. “I can’t control what anybody else does. I can’t control what anybody else says, and I’m not going to worry about that. I’m going to take every opportunity I have to get better, and at the end of the day, that’s all that matters.”
