Athlete

There are so many other way more popular athletes than me.

There's nothing else like playing at Arrowhead Stadium.

We want to help schools that don't have money.

If I can't win a Super Bowl, so what? What would it do for me?

It's great because growing up, especially being a Raiders fan and then playing with Marcus, I was like, 'Holy smokes, that's Marcus Allen' when I first walked in and saw him.

I grew up in Kansas City. I got here when I just turned 21.

My mother was an administrator at a nursing home, and my first job was working at a nursing home as an activities assistant. She wanted me to do it because it forces you out of your shell, and it's about giving back. That's something that I learned from my mother at a very young age.

Kansas City is dear to me and I am honored to be inducted into their Hall of Fame.

I love philosophy and spirituality and leveling-up books and science books.

I've been very blessed. I don't want anyone to feel sorry for me.

My grandfather spoke fluent Spanish and I have family members who speak fluent Spanish.

When I got to the NFL, they asked me what number I wanted, and I said No. 44, but they told me tight ends are not allowed to have that number. So I said, 'Just double it up for me if you can' and took No. 88. I figured I'd be twice as good as I was.

I could have played in the NBA. I would have put up 1,000 jump shots a day. I've got that type of work ethic.

When I first came into the league, we went 13-3 with a first-round bye, and I said, 'OK, this is how the NFL goes. This is cake. I'll have a Super Bowl trip every couple of years.' That's what I thought.

I've always wanted a ring. That's been my main goal as a player over the last 15 years of my career. You're really trying to get that ultimate goal.

As far as the regrets go, that's just not part of my makeup.

I'm always very honest.

I didn't start my whole rookie year.

You have to learn from your mistakes.

I don't get hurt because I'm so slow.
