My job is to play well offensively and help my team score points. So I feel very responsible every time we lose a game.

My dad was a class person on and off the field. That's the person I want to be.

I would love to have played in the '60s. Now that would have been fun.

You can play pickup basketball, but you can't really re-create football.

Some people have this impression of me: 'Boy, he's always so serious on the field. Football. Football. Football.

Some guys lose their focus. They get caught up in the business deals or the endorsements, and they lose their focus. For me, it's always about football. I've never lost sight of what's making all these other things happen.

When you go through a significant injury and have a major career change, you truly do go one year at a time, and you don't look past what's going on now, because you are not sure what's going to happen. Tomorrow is not promised.
