Once I decided football was the way for me, there was no looking back. Nothing was going to distract me.

I'm probably better than I ever was in my career, as far as the mental aspect of the game.

Use me as an example of an instrument of change.

What I did, you know, being away from my family, letting so many people down. I let myself down, not being out on the football field, being in a prison bed, in a prison bunk, writing letters home, you know. That wasn't my life.

I have 2 weapons; my arms, my legs and my brain.

During my time in prison, I told myself that I wanted to be a part of the solution and not the problem.

I miss dogs, man. I always had a family pet, always had a dog growing up. It was almost equivalent to the prison sentence, having something taken away from me for three years. I want a dog just for the sake of my kids, but also me. I miss my companions.
