There was a time when all I cared about was the next game, the next party, the next tee time.
I may be a successful football player, but I feel like such a failure.
Every day is not perfect.
Sure, sometimes guys pass you up in salary, and maybe it's a lesser player, but it's all based on what a team has as far as value in that person.
You're never guaranteed about next year. People ask what you think of next season, you have to seize the opportunities when they're in front of you.
It's all about chemistry. Talent alone won't get it done.
So much of a professional athlete's success depends upon not necessarily the play itself but how he deals with... always saying how you deal with good, is just as important as how you deal with bad.
Wisconsin's a special place.
If I'm going to play, it's going to be 100-percent commitment.
If I were to make a list, I would include the interceptions, the sacks, the really painful losses. Those times when I've been down, when I've been kicked around, I hold on to those. In a way those are the best times I've ever had, because that's when I've found out who I am. And what I want to be.
I've always been a Packer, always will be a Packer.
With each game I play, with each season I play, I'm running out of chances... you're never guaranteed next year. You're never guaranteed the next game. You have to seize the opportunity when it's there in front of you.
Most talented players don't always succeed. Some don't even make the team. It's more what's inside.
Life deals you a lot lessons, some people learn from it, some people don't.
