I think it was fantastic being in the 49ers Hall of Fame.

My work ethic came from my parents and my fear of failure. I came from a small, predominantly black school and I didn't want to let them down.

I think the thing about that was I was always willing to work; I was not the fastest or biggest player but I was determined to be the best football player I could be on the football field and I think I was able to accomplish that through hard work.

I do a lot of running, and I do it every day. I run on a track, I run hills and I work the stair-stepper extremely hard. I do some type of cardio every day. In addition, I have a passion for golf, and that helps me stay fit, too.

My first experience with football was not very good because I didn't plan on playing football. I was just playing hookie one day and I was a sophomore and decided not to go to class. And the principal - normally he does his rounds and I thought I had him down pretty good where he was going to be - he sort of walked up behind me and scared me. He noticed I could run real fast. So that's how I got introduced to football.

Most injuries require chiropractic care. It works better for me than anything else.

There is still a lot of football in me and I enjoy watching the players go out there and be the best players they can possibly be.
