The moment I started treating my social anxiety disorder, I started feeling better.
When I retired, I felt that I lived more in that year than I had the previous 27 years of my life.
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 more mature. I'm a better football player. I just feel like this is my time.
It's funny, people say 'Welcome back' when I haven't gone anywhere.
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.
