In the NFL, every practice could make or break you. If you dropped one ball, you'd worry about getting cut.

You never know what you're going to get as a receiver.

When I retired in 2002 I had retired to stay home with my family and didn't necessarily think my playing days were over.

I feel fortunate that there was a place like the CFL where I could hone my skill and become a consistent football player and have a nice career.

I obviously have a lot of love and affection for the people of Hamilton from playing there for so long.

I think the Canadian Football League is a great league, but it's not the NFL, and I'm not Jerry Rice.

The opportunity to go up to Canada and play was just a blessing for me and my family.
