I needed New Orleans so badly back in 2006, just somebody to believe in me, somebody to care about me

We just believed in ourselves, and we knew that we had an entire city and maybe an enitre country behind us. What can I say? I tried to imagine what this moment would be like for a long time, and it's better than expected.

The Madden NFL franchise holds a special place in popular culture and the cover is a coveted position for players all over the league. I'm honored to be the first cover athlete chosen by Madden NFL fans and it's a great way to cap off an amazing year for the Saints and the city of New Orleans.

I'm not just trying to be a good game manager. I'm trying to be great.

You are either getting better or getting worse, but you are never staying the same.

I love the Cowboys in the early 90s. That was their heyday, winning all those Super bowls. Troy Aikman was a person I looked up to.

I know I can go out there and play much better than I did yesterday. But to come out with a win is key.
