I've been through a lot in life, and had some ups and downs. It's what's led me to this day.

I've tried to do everything possible to prepare myself and prepare our football team to be great.

I believed that I could go to the Super Bowl and win multiple Super Bowls and do all of those things. I believe in that every day.

As a young rookie NFL player, you go to the rookie symposium and the one thing they tell you is, "You guys know what the NFL stands for?" Everybody looks around like, "National Football League...?" The guy's like, "Nope - Not For Long." They tell you right there to get prepared for your second life. You take that in, and I've always been one to prepare early, to see ahead and anticipate and believe in great things happening, and they do. I'd already known that concept and appreciated that concept, but for me, I was always going to be here for a while. I just believed in that.

There's some *NSYNC and Backstreet Boys on my iPod. I listen to it if it comes up on shuffle.

Since I was in high school, I wanted to play professional football and professional baseball, be a two-sport star.

For me, I'm able to use my gift to glorify God. That's what it's about for me.
