In sports you often become part of something greater than yourself.

You have to believe in the process. You have to believe in the things that you are doing to help the team win. I think you have to take the good with the bad.

It's great to learn more about sports I'm probably less familiar with - stock car racing, rodeo, e-sports - and realize that a lot of the people at the center of those sports bring the same level of passion, commitment and disciple that I try to with football. Sports is a way of life for billions of people around the planet.

I'm pretty chirpy. I can talk a little too much smack.

Everyone is dealing with something. This is life; this is not just a piece of cake. You expect that when your teammates are doing their jobs, so you got to compartmentalize and do your job.

Whenever I see Michael Jordan I'm still blown away because he was such a hero of mine growing up.

But when Gronk scores - it was like his eighth touchdown of the year - he spikes the ball and he deflates the ball. I love that, because I like the deflated ball. But I feel bad for that football, because he puts everything he can into those spikes.
