I have donated money to the kids overseas, the open hand project and the homeless.
I've never really thought of myself as having an ego. I've always found myself as having a lot of confidence. I know I have a lot of great ability. I know what I bring to the table.
You have a white guy as an announcer and sportscaster. Me, I'm black. I do it and I've already done some stuff in the past. We're more expressive than the white guys. You look at the skill players. We're the ones that get into the end zone. We get in the end zone more than they do.
I left a lot - a lot - of touchdowns on the field throughout the last two or three years.
I'm smart enough to know when I've done something wrong, but I don't understand this. Guys are beating their wives, getting DUIs and doing drugs, and I get national attention for a Sharpie? People are personally attacking me, calling me a classless asshole because I did something creative during a game. Why?
Exposure is exposure, whether it's good or bad. But you know what? You live and you learn, and I know who to trust and who not to trust. I'm in control of what I'm in control of, and that's me coming in here and being productive on the field. And as long as I'm keeping my nose clean and doing the right thing, then I'm OK.
When I was a kid, I'd watch pro football on TV and I'd see someone make a play and I'd say, 'I wish that could be me.' But then I'd have to wonder, 'Could I make that big play?'
I may not say it all the time or I may not pray as much as I need to, but I am not forgetting where I came from and how I got to be where I am today.
You should know how to do your job.
I knew I was going to have success here.
You have not seen my face go across the screen for any off the field problems, period.
Like I have said all along, I have the best doctor of all, and that is God. You can't argue with a guy like that.
A lot of people have to deal with the feeling that their worlds are caving in.
A lot of people think I'm stuck up. Pretty much that I'm arrogant. I only do that when I'm on the field.
