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

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.

My wife is Greek. I was a non-denomination Christian before we got married.
