Due to the NFL lockout, I'm excited to be able to follow my childhood dream of playing for a Major League Soccer team.

I'm a physical receiver, yet I can run and move like someone who is 5-8 or 5-9.

I've brought excitement back to the game. I make the game fun.

If football wasn't a part of my life, there were three things that could have happened, and they were all bad. I would have likely been selling drugs, in jail or dead.

In high school, when you're a top player, there are ways of getting eligible, ways of getting out of going to class. It made going to the next level, which is college, that much harder.

You have to use your mind n the NFL. Every player is smarter. Defensive backs bluff and disguise coverages to try to fool you.

Everyone has to remember, I've always said that soccer is my number-one sport.
