Football is a contact sport and there's a lot that goes into it. But I have committed myself for a long time to doing it, and because I love doing it so much I want to make that commitment.

I see so many guys, really athletic guys, wearing pleats and I just shake my head. Like, Tiger Woods used to wear pleated pants! I'm like, 'C'mon, Tiger!'

When you have two busy kids running around the house, returning e-mails is a task, let alone surfing the web.

You go through high school and college the same way: never listening to your coaches because you're the best. But when you get to the pros, all that stops because everybody there has talent.

You can't go out and practice average on Wednesday, average on Thursday, okay on Friday and then expect to play well on Sunday.

I knew I became a professional when I stop paying attention to what time it was.

As an athlete, when you are on that field and the fans get really engaged and you can feel their energy and passion and true love of the game, it is absolutely a spiritual experience.
