It's something that I had been pushing down my whole life. The search for meaning, I guess, the whispering of the soul.

Football is my job, not my life, but it's a job I'm going to give my all for as long as I'm in it.

Depending on their fondest memory of you, most people hold on so tightly to their fondest memory they don’t usually let you be anything greater than that. And that’s one of the things I think I allowed myself to be a victim of earlier in my career. What I learned as I got older is I decide. I decide what it’s like for me, not other people. You can be whatever you’d like to be. You just have to choose it.

Maybe I'm stupid or whatever, but to me if I got a concussion, if I could see straight and I could carry a football then I'm not telling anybody.

People are hungry because they're eating empty foods. Mine are full, and so am I.

The people that I see on the street, they treat me more as a human being and not just an icon or a football player.

I really do love football.
