I've been dealing with being overlooked my whole life.
I keep my eyes wide open. Because trouble is out there.
I know how to rebuild a team. I know how to step in and work hard.
I get stronger as the game goes on.
In the NFL, everyone's attacking, so you have to be quicker in your decisions.
I knew I had to go out and perform. I had a lot of fans watching!
I would love to spend my whole career in Scan Diego because I accept the challenge of turning this team around.
I'm an old-school guy.
With my size and speed, my ability to make moves and great vision, I'm sometimes feel like it's an unfair advantage over the defense.
God has really blessed me with the ability to put me ahead of the class.
I'm passionate about the game of football.
I take being a role model seriously.
I think about my family first. I want my family to not want for anything. I would like to make sure they have no worries.
You've got to earn respect as life goes on.
