I want to win. That's the most important thing.
I think there was always that question mark of why am I not in St. Louis anymore? I think everybody had those questions and probably had those perceptions of me.
I got my career started late so, even though I'm getting older, I don't have as much wear and tear on my arm. I feel good. I really do.
I've done it for a long time and I didn't expect it to be any different here.
As I get older, I might need to keep the stubble off. As the years come, it helps to look younger I guess.
I just always felt I'd be playing football in the NFL - or at least playing for a living.
I've always had confidence.
I am glad that I was given the chance. I knew I could still play at a high level.
They're willing to let Matt sit and wait until they believe he's ready and I can't do the best I'm capable of doing. I'm completely comfortable with that.
My friends said, 'You're crazy, enjoy single life.' But that's not for me.
Nobody knew who I was.
I've always known that if I got the right opportunity and the right system, I could be successful.
No matter what happens on the football field it doesn't change the kind of person I am.
On the football field I keep my emotions tied up inside. But when I'm with family, I let them out.
