Teams are going to try to hit me because they think I can't take a hit. I think I've proven over my career that I can.

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.

No one coaches what to do after three seconds, after the quarterback's broken the pocket or he's been in the pocket for five, six seconds.

Man, I love the Lord of the Rings movies. Some people would say I'm weird for liking those types of movies, but they are so cool.

If you say you're going to do something, you do it. If you start it, you finish it. Yes sir, no ma'am. And you've got to have that kind of structure in your life. It kind of helped me be that disciplined person that I am, whether it's with workouts, film or just the game of football.

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

I don't do too much outside of football during football season, because this is my job and I take it seriously. I don't do too much, don't really go out at all that much, don't eat out or anything, try to stay focused and stay to myself.
