I can look back at it now as definitely like an initiation into adulthood. Almost overnight in the NFL, I was put on a pedestal and I was supposed to be this icon or this image of what a professional athlete was supposed to be. I felt like I just got stuck trying to be someone else and I forgot who I actually was.

I wouldn't eat a chicken if it dropped dead in front of me holding up a sign that said, Eat Me.

Sometimes success will get in the way of maturity - at least temporarily.

Well, I don't think I've necessarily ever been a passionate football player or a passionate person.

There's more to life than success, and if you can try to be more well-rounded, you'll be able to enjoy your success more. It won't own you or control you.

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.

Now that I have conquered social anxiety disorder, I find pleasure in fans approaching me.
