My inspiration is my hometown. I feel that because I'm representing my very overlooked region of Virginia, I have to keep accomplishing my goals to show everyone there that you can truly become whatever you believe with hard work and dedication.

You're whatever you think you are. People like to compartmentalize other people. I don't worry about what other people think. I'm not living for them.

The hardest thing I've had to overcome was being from my small coal-mining town of Big Stone Gap, Virginia. My mother was a coal miner for nineteen years, and the expectations of making it out of my town were slim to none.

I look at failure as the fertilizer to success.

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

While I was in the NFL, I would eat five times a day. I only eat twice a day now, and I box and play basketball every day. I'm extremely happy with my body and mind...

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