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.
It's something that I had been pushing down my whole life. The search for meaning, I guess, the whispering of the soul.
I think it's very easy for people to stereotype athletes, good and bad.
There is no need to smear my name or to defame my character for the sake of news.
I really do love football.
And any time you feed your ego, it's a one-way street. ... There were so many things I had to deal with that erased the positives I got from playing the game that it wasn't worth it. It's like eating a Big Mac and drinking a Diet Coke.
