It’s one thing to see yourself going across the ticker…But to take someone else down, that’s another. I really can’t even explain that pain.

If I wasn't playing football, I'd be a juvenile probation officer.

People who aren't minorities don't know what its like to be one. Of course they'll say, "He must've done something," because they're taught to believe that if you're targeted by the police that you've done something.

Football is easy; I’ve done this since I was a baby. To me, that’s not success. Success to me is being a world changer…I say football is my platform, not my purpose. How can I use my platform to fulfill my purpose? I want people to say that he fulfilled his purpose.

I understand that you're supposed to protect a fellow officer, but when injustice is happening, it's on them to speak up as well.

As far as police go, if officers are really that scared or timid [on the streets], maybe they shouldn't be police officers. Their job is to protect and serve and they're supposed to be the bravest of the brave.
