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

I am a National Football League player of American Samoan heritage. Because of my status as a professional athlete, I have been blessed to play a role in educating players and fans about the culture and history of America's southernmost territory.

Injury in general teaches you to appreciate every moment. I've had my share of injuries throughout my career. It's humbling. It gives you perspective. No matter how many times I've been hurt, I've learned from that injury and come back even more humble.

I do have a trophy room. It's in my attic in boxes.

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

I have developed a Samoan mentality. You have to be a gentleman everywhere but on the field.

Being compared to the greatest-ever safety is pretty ridiculous. I continue to work toward that, but I'm not there and I know that.
