That's been my driving force all year. I'm just glad that I didn't have to cry and apologize to him that I couldn't get him there.
apologize cry driving force glad promise
That's been my driving force all year. I'm glad I didn't have to cry and apologize to him that I didn't get him there. I feel a lot better I can keep my promise to Jerome getting him back to Detroit.
confident fake force left looking opportunity receiver saw takes three tried
Well, that was one of those things where I was looking left the whole way and we had three receivers over there, ... I tried to fake to Antwaan (Randle El) right away and didn't feel confident and didn't want to force it, so I saw the opportunity to go to my right, and went right, and that's when the receiver takes over.
anybody bounce hopefully stronger team
We have to bounce back. If anybody is questioning themselves, they don?t need to be out here. I think this team will bounce back strong, hopefully stronger than ever. We have to; there?s no question.
against close felt playing sync
When you play in the preseason, you don't game-plan. You're playing against yourself, really. I just felt like we were really close to being in sync and being really good.

We love playing for him because of his excitement and the energy that he brings to the table.
We've come a long way as a team.

You have to be mature doing what I do. These guys want to see a leader, not someone immature. I rely on my brain a little more than last year. It's a patience thing.
I ride a Harley and a chopper. Those are the two bikes I ride the most.
dad fathers gives good hail hand matter moment proud seen shakes sons threw time
I've seen fathers criticizing their sons the moment a game's over. Not my dad. It doesn't matter if I threw an interception or a Hail Mary, he always says, 'Good job, son, I'm proud of you.' Then he shakes my hand and gives me a hug. Every time.
I've always been big into snowmobiles, four-wheelers, jet skis, all kinds of those X Games kind of things.
fuel hard helped high learned played receiver ultimately until wide
There will always be hard times. Use adversity to fuel your fire. In high school, I wanted to play quarterback but couldn't until I was a senior. I played wide receiver instead, and this ultimately helped me because I learned more about the game.
group harley highway miles people ride riding sports trying
I don't ride a sport bike. If I'm riding a sport bike and trying to do tricks, and going 200 miles down the highway, that's probably pretty stupid. But when you're riding a Harley or a chopper, and you're riding with a group of people and you're not on the highway and you're cruising, you're relaxing.
life
I take my life and put it on the football field, and I take the football field and put it in my life.
