Football Player

Never in my life have I failed a test. I have never been opposed to testing and, in fact, have always been compliant with each and every protocol and policy associated with my competitive career in track and field.

I always dreamed of doing this, being able to do track and field and the NFL at the same time.

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.

What I do in long jump and track and field, it definitely correlates with what I do as a receiver. With being fast and being explosive and putting my foot down. It's the same mechanics that I use in football and track.

I led the world the whole year until the trials. I was in Birmingham, U.K. Broke the meet record, had the meet won already, beat the 2012 Olympic champion in long jump that day. It was a big moment. On the last jump, I blew it. Blew my hamstring.

Football has set me up to provide for my family, it has allowed me a better opportunity to do things in my life that track may have not.

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

I'm looking to run the fastest, but I want to prove that I'm more than a speed guy.

I have a lot of things going for me, I try to be a well-rounded role model.

I love long-jumping, and if I'm granted the opportunity without repercussions, then I will pursue it further, but I'm obligated to Buffalo Bills football and that's the main focus.

I graduated with a double degree, I speak well, I play two sports at an elite level, I volunteer, I do things the right way - I even got down on my knee to ask my wife to marry me! - and I can't get sponsored? It confuses the hell out of me.

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 always dreamed of doing this, being able to do track and field and the NFL at the same time.

I'd love it to be in Buffalo. I love football. But I know how important it is to live your life like you want to.

I just believe in helping other people.

My teammates give me a hard time about that all the time, 'Hey, if you catch the ball and get in an open field, I want you to long jump from the 10 into the end zone.'... I might make it happen one of these days.

The type of working hours you put in sometimes is overlooked. The diet. The little sacrifices that you take from your family, people don't take that into account.

I really don't focus on the competition at all. Like even on the football field it's me versus me.

I've stayed sharp, basically through football workouts. I cater those workouts to track-specific things, so I don't lose the rhythm I've always had to keep football and track in balance.
