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

Well, I don't think I've necessarily ever been a passionate football player or a passionate person.

I would drive home and see people wearing my No. 34 jersey and wonder why, because I didn't feel worthy of that. And all the time I just knew people were staring at me, talking about me everywhere I went.

I don't care what people think about me because I know I am more than all the pain and strife they hold inside.

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

I love myself. Because I'm all that I have and if I don't love myself, no one else will. Whenever I feel myself starting to dislike something I tell myself, "This is who I am," so what's the point in disliking it?

In therapy, I see myself in the mirror differently.
