It's probably similar to being in New York City and having a cab driver behind you and you're driving too slow. It's not the most pleasant thing.
As a kid, I played my share of football in the street or in a vacant lot.
I don't dream football. I dream the American Dream - two cars in a garage, be a happy father.
As a kid, I played my share of football in the street or in a vacant lot. When we were playing in the street, it was more touch football, so we didn't hit each other into cars.
I want to thank all of the fans and media who made playing in the NFL such a wonderful experience. I have had the pleasure of meeting many of them.

A lot of times I did lose yards on a run, but it wasn't for lack of trying.
Christianity affects your whole life. I feel I'm more competitive, a better player, but off the field is where there is always a battle.
