I don't care what people think about me.

I don't really care what people think about me or the color of my skin. I'm just playing football.

I really am genuinely happy for guys that get paid and have success when they actually work their tails off.

A lot of times you don't see that, doesn't matter when they're drafted, first round or not. You usually don't see guys come in and wow you.

I love when people think I'm not a good receiver.

I do get recognized every once in a while.

You have to be able to hit the deep balls.

That's something you work on Day 1. You never stop your route.

I love when people think it's going to be easy to guard me.

In this league, it's all about being close to 100 percent on game day.

I don't care if people think I'm one of the best receivers or one of the worst receivers. I don't really care.

I love when people doubt me. I love when people don't think that I'm good enough to play at a certain level, not good enough to be a starter, things like that. That's the stuff that drives me.

I played college football for free. I had to pay to play, really.

We know how hard it is to get to the playoffs in general, and then to get to the NFC Championship Game. You just never know if you'll have the opportunity again, so you really want to make the most of it.

For me, after every game you look yourself in the mirror and ask 'what can i do better, what can i do to help this team?' Then you go back to the drawing board and you go back and you work hard.

In high school I just loved to compete and play sports. I didn't have a sport that I was going to say, 'Hey, I'm going to play this at the next level.' Whatever my best opportunity was was what I was going to do.

I have a lot of confidence. I'm a competitor.

I love when people doubt me. I love when people don't think that I'm good enough to play at a certain level, not good enough to be a starter, things like that. That's the stuff that drives me.

I think there were a lot of people at Mankato reaching out to the Vikings saying to just bring me in for a tryout.

For me, Thursday night football is a great time for me to enjoy the game with my family, as I'm not able to watch as much on Sundays.
