Athlete

We're all flawed human beings trying to be a better person on a daily basis and I didn't figure that out for a long, long time.

It's hard to transition out of football. Even when you're super successful, guys who have played 18 or 20 years and have won four Super Bowls, they still have difficulty with that transition. They believe they're not ever going to do anything that important again.

Everybody tells me, 'You're going to be fine.' Well, I know I'm going to be fine.

I had two amazing parents, two younger brothers, grandparents, a supportive community. Really loved.

Many times somebody tried to help me be constructive and I just pushed them away.

How can I go from this poor college kid one day and the next day get a check for $7 million. How's that going to affect me?

The farther I go East in the U.S. the more I get recognized because of more sports crazy the East Coast is.

There's freedom in being rigorously honest. I lied all my life.

I grew up in a really supportive environment.

I definitely don't want to do anything associated with the NFL.

I've made mistakes and made them bigger because of the way I have reacted to them.

I don't know if I was ever meant to have that flashy lifestyle.

I've lived on $400 a month in college. I've lived on it fine.

I don't care if I go 2 for 40. If we win, it doesn't matter.

When I enjoyed football the most was when I wasn't getting paid.

I'm stubborn.

Being vulnerable is not a weakness.

I was a talented egomaniac with a self-esteem problem.

I don't look at myself and think I'm that special.

I don't make the right choices. I simply don't.
