As a football player, you just deal with injuries. It's all part of the football game. I've dealt with injuries as much as everybody else. People have dealt with worse injuries than I've dealt with. It's all part of the game, all part of getting that tackle.

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

I have read the Bible many times. But after fasting, and being baptized Orthodox, it's like reading a whole new Bible. You see the depth behind the words so much more clearly.

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

It's the perfect environment for prayer. Chanting in Greek is like a beautiful opera, but way better.

Material things aren't important to me.

The greatest thing for me football-wise is that it's a test of will.
