I feel like there's no such thing as failure. When something doesn't go the way I want it to, I learn from it, and I accomplish more than I initially expected to.

No one had ever made it big from my town until I was able to make it to the NFL and now the big screen. The journey from my town to where I am now has taught me how to be resilient and fearless, and for that I will forever be grateful.

Acting has helped me detox in football. Getting lost in a character and a scene, it's awesome.

My inspiration is my hometown.

I had a great family. My father was in the Air Force, so we were always disciplined, goal oriented.

I took care of my body. Your body is your business in the NFL.

There are a lot of black men doing really well, taking care of their families, taking care of their wives, being successful, doing the right thing, promoting the right thing. There needs to be an evolution in our portrayal. We have to come together, pool our resources and tell our own stories. People won't respect us unless we make them.
