In therapy, I see myself in the mirror differently.

I am more mature. I'm a better football player. I just feel like this is my time.

One thing I've learned about life is that if you really let go, it's just a joy ride.

If I can walk, I'll play.

I led the NFL in attempts the past two years and they really didn’t go out and get a quarterback to help me so I knew it’s going to be all on me again. I could see my mortality as a football player, that I’m not going to be able to do this much longer. It just became obvious to me that playing football for me is not going to be fun, not something I’m going to enjoy and it’s time for me to do something different.

If I was doing something for the money, I'd be quite miserable.

I've followed freedom for a long time and I finally feel I've got more of it. People talk about the money that I've given up and the money that I've lost. But the knowledge and the wisdom that I've gotten from this experience is priceless.
