Athlete

I think I had a good rookie year, but at the end of the day, I want to be one of the best tight ends ever to play, and I'm going to set my standard for that and work toward that goal.

I want to be the guy in the red-zone, believe me.

I love the game of football.

I've never played the game for money.

If you don't have the confidence, that's half the battle. You're going to be defeated before you even start.

As an athlete, I feel like I have a little bit of control - or a lot of control - of the situation. When you're the in the stands, you have no control of the situation.

It's not a goal of mine to only play 45 percent of snaps. It's to be on the field for every single play.

You do have to be patient. Control what you can control.

I'm not going to be perfect on the field, I'm not going to be perfect in my postgame answers or any media session.

Anything that's truly competitive, I love.

I want to prove to myself and everybody else how good I can be, and I'm willing to work as hard as I need to to achieve that goal.

I think the ultimate compliment that someone can give you is that you're a technician.

Don't live and die with every play.

The city of Philadelphia is all about the underdog.

Can't ever catch enough balls.

My relationship with Jesus has changed my life and, really, the foundation of who my wife and I are as people.

I'm so thankful to everyone who has helped me along the way.

I want to be the guy on third down, whenever the coaches need a play, they call my number.

I don't care about the money. Honestly. All I care about is winning football games.

Glute bridges make sure my hips are staying in line. Making sure that I'm not putting added stress on the hamstrings, hip flexors, or groin. Being able to stabilize the hips is pretty much the center of playing football, so you can stay healthy.
