I mean, I think everyone at this level has a chip on their shoulder. Everyone's got a story. Everyone has had to go through some adversity to get to where they are at so, I guess, we all do.

One of the reasons I wanted to write a memoir was because I'm tired of telling my story. [Laughs] So I can say, here, read it, this is everything that happened. There are a bunch of cool stories of the transition of me becoming a receiver from a quarterback in college to being a special teams guy, a role player, to working my way to the role I've earned now.

Nowadays with the injury that I have, it's not easy, but the technology and procedures are so much more advanced than they have been in the last 20 years. They're getting unbelievable results and I'm anticipating I'll get those same results and come back stronger.
