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

I got high, and forgot I wasn't supposed to get high.

I stepped away to find out more about myself, which I was having difficulty doing as a football player. I got a chance to travel the world. I studied Eastern philosophy, and I've grown as a person so much.

I am an honest, God-fearing man who is intensely dedicated to being the best person I can be on and off the football field.

Tomorrow doesn't really exist.

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 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.
