It's funny, people say 'Welcome back' when I haven't gone anywhere.

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

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.

Everywhere I go, I hear 'Welcome back.' But everywhere I have been, I have always been with myself. I'm with myself now more than ever. It's funny people say 'Welcome back' when I haven't gone anywhere.

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.

One thing I've learned about life is that if you really let go, it's just a joy ride.

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