I think if I were a college professor, no one would say I was uncomfortable about being shy because that might be expected. But I think because of people's stereotypes, they think of a football player as someone who is very outgoing and I'm not.

Human beings aren't supposed to be controlled and told what to do.

The moment I started treating my social anxiety disorder, I started feeling better.

Playing in the National Football League, you're told, you know, where to be, when to be there, what to wear, how to be there. Being able to step away from that, I have an opportunity to look deeper into myself and look for what's real.

I want to really start focusing on what I want to accomplish and what it is I want to achieve, but not micromanaging this or that and focusing on the little things.

I don't feel like my speed or my power or my desire to play this game has diminished at all.

I don't think I'll ever be able to stay in one place for more than a year or two. It's not in my nature.
