That taught me how to work harder. I learned all about mental toughness on the practice field. If things weren't working out for me in high school, in college, early in my pro career, my solution was always to work harder and internalize. That way, whenever I got an opportunity, I was always prepared. See, there are a lot of guys who are all talk. They say they want to work harder and be the best, but they never pay the price. I love paying the price.

Certainly I accept my role and responsibility as a public figure and a lot of it you take the good with the bad, dealing with different adversities in life, you just try to do the best you can do.

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

A lot of people didn't get to see Butler's skills throughout the course of the season.

Butler's interception comes off as a great play, which it really was, at the biggest time of the year.

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.

Man, wear your seat belts. That's all I can tell everybody. You never know.
