He's one of those guys who has a tendency to sulk a little bit,
I don't think he'll be a high draft pick, but as a specialty player, somebody will pick him up. He's kind of small, but he's got great speed, so I think somebody will give him a chance to return punts and maybe be a game-changer for them.
I don't want to make this a racial thing, but it's significant. I am very, very deeply honored to be involved with the rest of these guys in this great fraternity.
I don't want to make this a racial thing, but it is significant because it is the first. All the guys who played the game before me as African-Americans have to share in this a little bit. This is the crowning jewel to my career.
I don't want to make this a racial thing, but I think it is significant. It shows that we have arrived at the pinnacle of our sport.
I don't want to make this a racial thing, because it shouldn't be. But it is significant because it was the first time.

I love basketball players for what they do for their size - so graceful.
That was probably one of the things that if I look back at my career and say what is something I would try and do a little bit differently, I’d try and be a little bit more loose playing the game. Have a little more fun doing it.
Even though my mother had told me growing up that, 'If you win, nobody cares what color you are,' that wasn't necessarily true in the N.F.L.
I'm about a 160, 170 bowler so I feel like I'm pretty good - I'm average, but I don't stink, you know?
In football, it's the ultimate team sport. You have to have good people around you as a quarterback for things to happen.
