Football is my love. Football is what I'm going to do. I'm a football player first.

I love football. The games are a pure rush. By the time I'm done playing, I want to be among the best tight ends ever to play the game.

Tight end is one of the hardest positions to play in football. It's right up there with quarterback and cornerback. You have to have the skills of a wide receiver and the strength of an offensive lineman, and it's not easy to balance those two.

I've come to realize that the thing in life that's important, the reason we're all here, is to love and do well for each other.

Life is short. You better get out there and do what you want to do while you can.

I don't like second place; I'm out there trying to win everything.

I want to be a Chief. I want to be a Chief for life.
