I'm nice because, when I was growing up, so many people weren't nice to me, and I remember how that felt. And I don't want to make anyone else feel like that. I value nice.

Ricky WilliamsI 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.
Ricky WilliamsI led the NFL in attempts the past two years and they really didnโt go out and get a quarterback to help me so I knew itโs going to be all on me again. I could see my mortality as a football player, that Iโm 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 Iโm going to enjoy and itโs time for me to do something different.
