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.

My whole thing in life is I just want freedom. I thought that money would give me that freedom. I was wrong. It bound me more than it freed me, because now I had more things to worry about, more people asking for money, I thought I had to buy a house and nice cars and different things that people with money are supposed to do.

I think it's very easy for people to stereotype athletes, good and bad.

Nine in the box... that's a football term.

Texas was such a welcoming place, and with its unbelievable history and tradition, it's extra special to be a part of that.

Maybe I'm stupid or whatever, but to me if I got a concussion, if I could see straight and I could carry a football then I'm not telling anybody.

If you identify yourself as a great football player, anytime anyone challenges that, you're going to have some kind of problem.
