Don't walk through life just playing football. Don't walk through life just being an athlete. Athletics will fade. Character and integrity and really making an impact on someone's life, that's the ultimate vision, that's the ultimate goal - bottom line.

God has never made a mistake. Ever.

Pain is only temporary, no matter how long it lasts.

Some people take certain things and they try to forget what that pain felt like. I don't. I take that same pain and I chase it every time I walk in a weight room.

I don't know a man on this Earth who can outwork me.

There's a spirit that grabs me, and it's in every one of you guys, but the questions is, how much time are we wasting?

I like college football a lot, because it's the dream that you're chasing. The dream of one day possibly making it, with the harsh reality that only one percent make it.
