I am an African-American in America. That will never change. But I don't have to be defined by that.

Every time you step on the football field in between those lines you're putting your life, your career, every single ligament in your body in jeopardy.

It's not something to complain about, but just the major difference between college and the pros is that in college you're guaranteed four to five years so long as you don't do anything criminally and in the pros you're guaranteed one day because you can be cut the next.

Last time I checked I was able to throw the ball a little bit.

It's not about talent once you get to the NFL because everyone's got it. It's about being willing to go that extra mile to be the best and that's something that I've always done.

People have said some really good things about my performance, and that's what I'm happy about, what I'm excited about. I was able to go out there, and like I said, I put my best foot forward.

There's a couple things you don't talk about in life, and that's race, religion and politics. I try to make sure I don't talk about politics at all.
