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.

It used to be irritating just because someone can meet you and before they would get a chance to get to know you, they’ll go find someone else’s story about who I am. For me personally, I just always think it’s more interesting to get to know the person myself.

I have no room in my life for any form of negativity or nonacceptance.

I do feel like a loner but I think it's because I look at things differently than other people.

If I can walk, I'll play.

In therapy, I see myself in the mirror differently.
