It's amazing, especially coming from the small city of Paterson, to have all of those people just being behind you and supporting your career and understanding where you come from.

I don't recognize my former self. Like I'm on the outside looking in at my life. Who is that guy?

It is funny what a year can do.

When I was young, it wasn't about the money, it wasn't about the fame and fortune, it was about playing football.

It's a crazy feeling when people know who you are and respect your game. It's much appreciated.

Any time there's a coaching change, that's something that's pretty significant, and especially for the New York Giants, who have had the same coach for a long period of time. But we embrace it.

It was definitely some tough moments throughout my life, but I kind of stayed focused and came through the other end of the tunnel.
