My goal was to prove to my family I wasn't a dummy.

I think the state of the NFL has a very positive outlook.

I learned in high school that I was going to have to outwork people. I remember running around the track, training for football, and a faster guy ran past me. I just figured, I can outlast him. If I work harder than him, I'll beat him. And to this day I overprepare.

HGH testing is happening in Olympics. The science is there. It is a valid test.

The one thing I would hope would go on my tombstone is, 'I made my parents proud.'

This is an opportunity to create a better future for the NFL, to improve the game for our fans, and to expand the economic benefits for the players and teams. Staying with the status quo is not an option. The world has changed for everyone, including the NFL and our fans. We must get better in everything we do ... If both sides compromise and give a little, everyone will get a lot, especially the fans.

I take my responsibilities very seriously.
