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.

It doesn't matter that I play football. Anybody can make a difference in life.

I don't care if it's politics, religion or football. I believe you have to keep opening your mind. And shut your mouth sometimes!

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.

Football comes naturally to me, but basketball is a challenge, that's why I like it so much.

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.

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