That's a picture of the girl he hooked up with the first night we went out during training camp. I'm not kidding. That's her -- almost exactly.
Football comes naturally to me, but basketball is a challenge, that's why I like it so much.
I was awful at football when I was a little kid. I didn't have the aggressiveness. I was just a nice kid. I didn't want to hurt anyone.
Tight end is one of the hardest positions to play in football. It's right up there with quarterback and cornerback. You have to have the skills of a wide receiver and the strength of an offensive lineman, and it's not easy to balance those two.
I don't care if it's politics, religion or football. I believe you have to keep opening your mind. And shut your mouth sometimes!
I love football. The games are a pure rush. By the time I'm done playing, I want to be among the best tight ends ever to play the game.
It doesn't matter that I play football. Anybody can make a difference in life.
Football is my love. Football is what I'm going to do. I'm a football player first.
(Ryan) just took control of the offense. He was poised. He just made plays. Matt is a great quarterback. The more he plays, the better he's going to get. He just needs to get on the field to show his ability.
I think (offensive coordinator) Al Saunders did a great job figuring out what didn't work,
I am happy for Antonio. He came out and played great today, one of the best games I have ever seen by a tight end,
I didn't go downfield at all. It's frustrating. I haven't even sniffed the end zone this year. The Eagles didn't do anything special to stop me. I just didn't get the opportunity. I need to get the ball to help this team win.
Leadership doesn't come from age. He's a young leader. He's not just any other backup quarterback coming into the game. We know what he's capable of.
One of the best games I've ever seen by a tight end.
