I had that hunger, that desire, to be successful and I wasn’t going to let anything stand in my way.

Once you get your education it's going to open up so many doors for you. And the sky's the limit. So that's what I want to deliver to students.

As a fan, you want to be able to go to a football game, you want to feel secure, you want to be able to just watch the game, root for your team, and that's the way it should be.

I'm really looking forward to the Hall of Fame ceremonies. It's going to be unbelievable - just crazy. I'm looking forward to thanking all the fans for inspiring me to go out there and play my best football each and every game.

I want to do a good job. I'm just learning and I just want to have fun with it.

I could barely speak after I was drafted by the San Francisco 49ers. I was going to play for the defending Super Bowl champions.... I immediately thought of all the great players on the team. I was in awe, as I had watched these soon-to-be legends play on television. They epitomized for me what football was all about: the love of the game, the professional approach, and the desire to win.

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