Football Player

People who don't understand will try to label me as one or the other. I'm an athlete and a lot of people just have to come to terms with that. I do well in football, I do well in track. It is what it is.

I'm just blessed to be able to be alive, to be able-bodied and be able to play this game.

I would give my life up if I could have a boy.

My wife at home. She didn't have a pregnant belly anymore, nobody to cling to, no shoulder to cry on, no one to talk to, while I'm at work getting the love and everybody just patting me on the back. I was mad. I felt that I should be at home helping my best friend get past the grief.

If you have to cheat to win, it doesn't mean as much as if you did it on natural abilities and hard work.

No matter what the outcome is, as long as you pray to Him and be genuine - because He knows when you're genuine and when you're not - and maintain the faith, I think things will turn around for you. I know things will turn around for you. And ultimately, you will always be victorious when it's all said and done.

You never know, God can take my ability away any day, so I just thank God for everything he does for me, and for putting my sister in my life and motivating me.

I chose to leave my wife at the hospital after prematurely birthing our first baby due to incompetent cervix, which resulted in a fatality, to play in a football game. I felt like I had to prove to my coaches and new team that I was dedicated to winning and I wouldn't let anything keep me from that goal, not even my family.

My relationship with my sister is closer than white on rice.

I don't compare myself with anybody.

I'm not limited to running or jumping or catching footballs.

It won't change that I'm an Olympian if you call me a football player, and it won't change that I'm an NFL player if you call me a track and field athlete.

Who am I just to give up on track? This is something I've dreamed about since I was 9 years old, being an Olympic champion.

I have definitely got more than a few pieces of cheetah in my wardrobe.

My goal is to stay healthy and win games, that's it.

I just believe in helping other people.

My relationship with my sister is closer than white on rice.

I have proved I have more than linear speed. Track guys are known for not being able to catch, for not having good hands.

I'm thankful for the relationship that I established with guys here in my time in Buffalo.

A lot of people don't even know that about me, I grew up without a father.
