I allowed myself to think if I could be doing anything in the world, what would I be doing? And what came to mind is I'd be traveling a little bit, I'd be going to classes and I'd be going back to school.

I had this notion that everyone was staring at me and judging everything about me, from my appearance to the way I talk and everything.

I like to live in places that are kind of off in the cuts so people can't really find me even if they wanted to.

Anytime you play a team sport, the success of the team really makes everything better. It's nice.

I definitely have come out of my shell a lot more. When you question who you are, you can't be proud of who you are. Now that I'm trying to peel off those layers and really understand who I am, I don't have anything to be shy about.

I don't think I'll ever be able to stay in one place for more than a year or two. It's not in my nature.

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.
