I held out for 12 days. It was a wonderful decision financially and a horrible decision football-wise. Being completely honest with that, if I had to go back to do it all over again, I'd have sacrificed the $2 million I made to be a better football player my first couple years.

I'm excited to see how I'll hold up under pressure. I'm swinging as well as I've ever swung the golf club, so we'll see if that holds up.
football great locker love outside walk worse
I love him, ... He's a great player. He immediately makes you a better football team. There's not many players, outside of quarterbacks, who when they walk into the locker room, you're a better team. It's simple. When he's there, you're better. And when he leaves, you're worse off.
