I won't call myself a failure. Failure is not getting knocked down. It's not getting up.

One thing we said as an offense is we want to start games fast ... we want the other team to play catch-up to us.

Mom, thank you. Mr. Palmer, my father I never had, thank you for teaching me what it is to be a man.

Sometimes in life, you will get knocked down.

When I'm running, I'm looking for contact. It's kind of weird. It brings a fire to me. When I get older I'll probably get wise and not do that.

The game of football really is more cerebral than most people think. To be successful, it takes more than just strength and speed; it takes versatility, intelligence, and ability to think quickly and calmly, to adapt to every situation.

It hurts because I can't go out there and play football, but it hurts more because I have to be a father and explain what happened to my daughter.
