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

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 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.

Given a full summer to practice basketball, and especially my jump shot, I know that I could play in the NBA and do well.

I was awful at football when I was a little kid. I didn't have the aggressiveness. I was just a nice kid. I didn't want to hurt anyone.

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

It's important to me to be a complete player.
