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

I consider adversity being good sometimes you know.

I can't believe I survived, not only my life, but I am still playing football 'cause half of those eight or nine years I don't even remember.

Initially, I know that I handled it worse than she did and I think partly because I've always been... every bit of adversity I've faced up until the last year and a half is adversity I brought upon myself - or the opposing teams have given me.

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

I consider myself more of a loner now and I think when you get older, especially in this game, and just talking with other players who have come and gone, I see what they were saying when I was a young guy in the locker room.

I don't need to have a retirement, retire your jersey, all that stuff to solidify my career.
