I'm a very modest person.

I obviously take a lot of pride in what I do on the football field, because that has the ability to influence a lot of people. That puts smiles on people's faces. That gives people a pep in their step on Monday morning when they go back to work.

And at the time, it is funny how you can look at something and say, for example with my shoulder injury, when it first happened I said this is the worst thing that could happen to me. Why me, why now? Now I look back and say it was probably the best thing that happened to me

When you wake up, think about winning the day. Don't worry about a week or a month from now -- just think about one day at a time.

When you care about a guy beyond just the field, that's when the chemistry becomes really special.

We all understand what we signed up for, but then again, you don't want this to be a game that puts people in wheelchairs at age 40.

I hope our hopes and aspirations are bigger than setting records.
