I accomplished so many things, so early in my career.

If you grew up in a household with a football coach who looks like a drill sergeant, you would think you would be tough.

I grew up a Saints fan, an hour from the Superdome.

I accomplished so many things, so early in my career.

I've always shown up, always been prepared. Everything I do comes back to the example I want to set.

I'm thankful for all the things that this job has given me and my family. But probably the thing that I am most proud of throughout my career is that, not only myself, but my family and the people around me have just been regular people, which we are.

Just, you never know what the next day is going to bring. That goes for football, goes for off the field, and I gave up a long time ago trying to predict the future and trying to deal with things I couldn't deal with.
