Clelin Ferrell Says Discipline Is the Key to Success

Defensive end Clelin Ferrell of the Las Vegas Raiders knows he’s got work to do after a rough 2020 campaign.

Last season, he started and played in 11 games for the Silver and Black. In those contests, he had 27 tackles, including 18 solos, 10 quarterback hits, nine assists, two forced fumbles, and three passes defended.

Ferrell has already made it known that he has to improve his numbers from last year. He says it begins with his discipline and staying true to himself.

"I think it's me staying disciplined and staying true to myself and not trying to be outside of myself,” Ferrell said via Raiders.com.

“Like, I know who I am as a player and the No. 1 thing is, I know it's going to pay off. So, just staying disciplined and being myself every single day.

“Being the same person every single day regardless of what anybody got to say, regardless of the circumstances — just come in and work hard and try to get this team to a Super Bowl."

Ferrell kept repeating over and over the same thing.

“Being myself.”

There are times where players in the NFL try to be someone they aren’t. Ferrell made it clear that used to be his case.

With the proper mindset means he’s only missing one thing: execution. Execution comes with time, work, patience, and perhaps even a little bit of luck.

It’s looking like potentially a bright future for Ferrell. Raider Nation, he’s got the mentality. Now the question is whether he can execute his thoughts on the field.
