keys games chiropractic
Chiropractic was the key to keeping me in the game.
school parent work-ethic
My work ethic came from my parents and my fear of failure. I came from a small, predominantly black school and I didn't want to let them down.
hurt nfl fire
When you begin to lose the fire a little bit and if you're not giving 100 percent out there, then it's time for you to leave because you'll end up getting hurt - I want to be able to walk away on top.
football player being-the-best
There is still a lot of football in me and I enjoy watching the players go out there and be the best players they can possibly be.
chiropractic-care care injury
Most injuries require chiropractic care. It works better for me than anything else.
kids boys games
I was just a small boy from Mississippi, and now little kids are going to identify with me through this game.
football pressure used
I'm used to performing under pressure, but that's playing football.
football crazy games
I'm really looking forward to the Hall of Fame ceremonies. It's going to be unbelievable - just crazy. I'm looking forward to thanking all the fans for inspiring me to go out there and play my best football each and every game.
summer strong father
I used to help out my father, a bricklayer, in the summer. I'd catch the bricks (that were dropped). And it made me strong, catching those bricks. I wouldn't change anything about it. That's why I'm where I am today. Really.
thank-you dream teammate
If I should get selected into the Hall of Fame, I'd be able to say 'thank you' to all the legends that are in the Hall of Fame. And also say thank you to my teammates, and also to all the fans. It's going to be like a dream come true.
hurt pain feel-better
I want people to know if they have any hurting in their back, or any tingling or anything like that, go see a chiropractor and help yourself feel better about your body and take some of that pain away.
football team winning
I could barely speak after I was drafted by the San Francisco 49ers. I was going to play for the defending Super Bowl champions.... I immediately thought of all the great players on the team. I was in awe, as I had watched these soon-to-be legends play on television. They epitomized for me what football was all about: the love of the game, the professional approach, and the desire to win.
fun games play
I went out there to play my game for the fun of it and never based my career around records.
worry focus balls
The absolute worst thing a receiver can do is worry about not catching the ball or about getting hit.
