I don't want to be the center of attention, which is ironic. I hate having all eyes on me - unless it's for my job, and my job is playing football. I'm not that attention-hungry.
This is what makes sports so amazing, that we can start a discussion around a table, in the newspaper, in the magazines, that will get people's attention. And that's what sports does.
Some people have certain beliefs, and I have my own belief, and we can agree to disagree on certain things.
My place of refuge is definitely watching movies and playing video games.
I did nothing wrongEverything I've done at this university I did the right way.
In college, you had to worry about that math class or this exam that's coming up on Tuesday, but not in the professionals. You eat, sleep, and do everything related to your craft - and your craft is football. You can be at it from sunup to sundown.

Tom Brady is good, real good...but he plays in same league as I do.
Everybody's entitled to their own opinion.
I'm an example of why people deserve second chances.
I am a person that believes in different emotions with music. Music can bring about different vibes on the field, off the field, urban life, going to church, leaving church. Everything the world may bring, there's a song for it to put you in the right frame of mind.
I'm a living testimony that anything is possible.
