When I look back, I'm glad I grew up in a small town. There, it's just you, your family and whatever you make of it.

It means a lot. It means I'm accountable.

I've been blessed with some luck, great ability and athleticism. That's really what's made me a great player, but I think the reason I've been able to last this long is the little things like taking care of my body.

I'm always fighting to make the team anyway. I'm always preparing like I'm one of the bottom guys, trying to make the team.

I'm not Deion Sanders. We're different people with different styles. People see similarities between me and him; that's fine. It's an honor to be mentioned in the same breath with him. But that's as far as I go with it.

I don't worry about getting tired. I try not to let it guide me as far as how much I'm going to play. I play with my heart.

Time heals all things.
