I have known Gerrard from a youth in elemenatary school. In fact, he was my next door neighbor in Owings Mills. I truly believed that one day he would play pro ball, wether football or basketball and told him to “Claim it”. I said to him, “I want front row seats to your game when you turn Pro”, which he promised I would have one day. I can now hold him to that promise. He said, “I appreciate ur support and love!! I plan on making every one happy! There is no doubt in my mind that he will. Congratulations Gerrard!
