In a recent interview with Jim Wyatt on Titans Online, Farley revealed that he is intending to remain “extremely positive” for his upcoming training season. Reportedly, his initial two years into the season weren’t up to the mark. The pro footballer was once outsmarted by a novice player, Rory McCreary. Additionally, his injuries simply hindered his exposure to the game.

Expressing his sheer motivation, Farley disclosed, “I think Bruce Lee said something like: ‘You have to learn to die before you can win.” He further emphasized on preserving his current state of mind as he prepared ahead of the game. “It’s going to be a big one for me,” the Titans cornerback implied.

Where would Caleb Farley’s positivity take him?

Even though the American athlete’s affirmative outlook is compelling, his contribution to the team would rather be limited, per reports. After his 2021 draft, he was placed in the Injury Reserve during the latter part of 2022 due to a back injury.

Additionally, Farley had performed in only a threshold number of games before he was benched for the second time. The first one was when he tore an ACL in 2021. Nevertheless, coach Mike Vrabel commended Farley for his mindset and hopes that he will soon showcase his skills the way it was meant to be.
