I'm not a person who defends myself very often. I kind of let my actions speak for me.

I don't put any thought into the footballs after I choose them. When you're out there playing in front of 70,000 people, like a home crowd, you don't think about it. You're just reacting to the game.

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.

You put all the other stuff aside and go out and do your job, and mine is to be the best I can be for my teammates.

So many guys are so conservative with their hair, and I always joke with all my buddies when they mess with me, and I'll say, 'That's right, keep the same haircut for ten years.' How fun is that?

The only thing I ever wanted to be was a professional football player.
