Sports kept me off the streets. It kept me from getting into what was going on, the bad stuff.

Use me as an example of an instrument of change.

You only get one shot at a second chance.

I don't think the NFL has ever seen the likes of me, a quarterback who moves the way I do and throws the way I do. I'm not saying that with arrogance or anything. That is just how I feel.

Everybody who knows me knows how I get down.

I mean, I was just one of the ones who got exposed, and because of the position I was in, where I was in my life, it went mainstream. A lot of people got out of it after my situation, not because I went to prison but because it was sad for them to see me go through something that was so pointless, that could have been avoided.

It's good to have critics because that's what motivates you and helps you take your game to another level.
