If you find my aggressive and dominating play dirty, then that's your opinion. But I would assume most people want someone who is going to do anything and everything within the lines to win for their team, because I know I would.

I remember watching Barry Sanders highlights as a kid, and the Lions always being a fun team. I, personally, really never had a real negative connotation with the team. And I didn't really listen to those who did after I was drafted.

I understand there's damage control to do on my image, but people are always gonna have their opinion of me no matter what. I understand 100 people may like me and 1,000 people may hate me. That's fine.

Football is a violent sport. Somebody's going to get hurt. It's the game. Just hopefully, you're on the good side of it.

I'm a storyline. I'm the chosen one for negative stories and controversial things. If I worried about it all, I would go insane.

My job is to defeat the guy in front of me, do it until he quits, and then wait for them to send in the next guy.

You continue to build and work on new things, and continue to beat offensive linemen, week in and week out.
