Athlete

It's important to have a say in your off-the-field brand and what you're doing, your sponsorships, what you want to be represented by, and the image you want to have.

Anytime you get a better competition level, it's always better for you because you want to get the best out of yourself, and you want to compete against the best.

If you're not gonna do it right off the field, who's to say we trust you on the field?

Anytime I get the chance to play ball, I get excited.

Teams ask me about my character, but until you sit down and talk to me directly, you might have image that's portrayed in stories or headlines. But I love the game, I'm up front and honest, I know exactly what I'm about, and that's the most important thing.

My mom and I used to dance to the Jackson 5 in our living room.

I had to overcome a lot of things, but with that, I've inspired a lot of people.

Under pressure is something I thrive on.

I always have that in the back of my head - the idea that I've been spoon-fed because of where I'm from. I think that's one of the main things that drives me to work harder to show that, in reality, I haven't been handed anything.

If I were on another team or program, I'd hate me, too.

Cleveland, as a whole, is a great sports town. People love the Browns here.

I'm not ashamed to speak my mind. What you see is what you get. You're not going to get a two-faced person who is going to say one thing and mean another.

You're not always going to have a perfect day. You're not always going to have the day that you envision.

When people doubt me, I want to prove them wrong.

There's always instances where you want those throws back, but the worst part about it is that I can't redo it.

All the different coaches and styles of play I've seen helped me develop, to relate to my teammates.

I can make any throw.

If you can win ballgames, you can win ballgames.

My dad thinks I have a photographic memory.

Everything along the way has made me the competitor I am.
