I don't look at football as a violent, barbaric sport. It's a very spiritual sport, especially for someone facing the challenges during a game: the fear of failure, the fear of getting too big an ego, of making a mistake and everybody criticizing you.

Being patient ... and not becoming too stressed out over the big plays, those are the things to remember.

Anybody who's away from what's normal is just kind of pushed aside as, 'Oh, he's crazy.' But in reality, this world is crazy. It's just chaos everywhere. It's really hard to be part of this world, because it's very possessed. And very egocentric.

The greatest joy I get is setting up plays for somebody else. I take a lot of pride in helping other people make plays.

My hair has become part of my identity; it's almost an appendage to me.

Football doesn’t define me. It’s what I do [and] how I carry out my faith.
