This whole thing with San Diego, when I went into the off-season, I thought for sure I'd still end up with the Chargers. I think that was a shocker for everybody, including myself. Even up to recently, I thought something was going to happen.
Mini-camp would be five months, so by that point I should be full speed. I'm going to do everything that I can to get back as soon as possible. The real date that is most important is early September. I need to make sure I'm good to go by then.
I would assume it would be pretty soon, obviously, because they probably want to get it done as soon as possible. With free agency coming up in March, the franchise-tag deadline in late February, I'm sure that that's something that's probably a big priority.
I'm sure there's a sigh of relief from the Dolphins, because if there was a team that could (go unbeaten), I'm sure it was these Colts. They're a heck of a football team, and they have a lot to be proud of. Hopefully we'll see them again down the road, sooner than later.
In my mind, I feel like I'm going to come back better than ever. I wouldn't even call it a setback. I think it's an opportunity for me to just get going a little bit earlier than expected and rehabbing and working out and making sure that when I come back I'm better than I was when I went in.
some rowdy fans. I'm sure there's going to be all kinds of expletives yelled at him, at their team.
We thought about taking a ride in his car,
The only team that believed in me was the Saints, and I feel like I owe them a great debt of gratitude. I want to give them what they saw in me-a guy who could lead this team to a championship.
We've got something special going here. We want to keep it going. You don't have many opportunities like this, and the window of opportunity for us is now.
Camping in the backyard last night for Father's Day! Wrestling, stories, s'mores...it was awesome!
I expect to win out there.
I hope our hopes and aspirations are bigger than setting records.
The Madden NFL franchise holds a special place in popular culture and the cover is a coveted position for players all over the league. I'm honored to be the first cover athlete chosen by Madden NFL fans and it's a great way to cap off an amazing year for the Saints and the city of New Orleans.
I know I can go out there and play much better than I did yesterday. But to come out with a win is key.
