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.’

It changed my life in an extreme way. I dont know if you could calculate just how much it does [change your life]. There was so much notoriety for me in my first season, and to finish by winning the Super Bowl and get the MVP set my place in history. It cements it and its very special. There is something that comes with it, something everyone recognizes and knows. No one can ever take it away from you.

LeSean McCoy has become the most exciting player in the National Football League. I believe he’s the MVP this year.

I just always felt I'd be playing football in the NFL - or at least playing for a living.

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

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

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.
