I am where I am because I believed and I never gave up.

I've always known that if I got the right opportunity and the right system, I could be successful.

I expected to play well, I expected to lead my team, and I expected to win.

No matter what happens on the football field it doesn't change the kind of person I am.

When you speak and represent the person of Jesus Christ in all actions of your life, people are drawn to that. You set the standard with your actions. The words can come after.

Alex Smith, what he’s done over the last two years for this football team, this is a mistake in not starting him. He needs to be the guy and it’s going to be tough if (Colin) Kaepernick doesn’t play well today and now you’re coming back saying, ‘Alex, we’re going to put you back in there.’

On the football field I keep my emotions tied up inside. But when I'm with family, I let them out.
