We've got to keep fighting. Got to keep agitating. Got to keep making sure that we put pressure on the people who make the laws, and the decisions, in this country.

I've been very fortunate and blessed to have been able to play football at LSU.

Football is a violent sport, but you know what you sign up for when you put those shoulder pads on. I agree with certain aspects of it. I disagree with certain aspects of it. I've had concussions and I'm still here. I still love the sport. I think I'm still very healthy.
Eric Reid -
I believe that there are issues in this country - many issues, too many to name. It's not one particular issue. But there are people out there that feel there are injustices being made and happening in our country on a daily basis.
Eric Reid -
Everybody evaluates their own situation as far as playing this game.
Eric Reid -
I'm from Louisiana, and I'm used to having space and a yard.
Eric Reid -
Tackling is my favorite part of the game.
Eric Reid -
You'd like to think we're past certain things, the way we treat people. I thought we were at a time where you love your neighbor as yourself. But as I've studied history - it hasn't repeated itself necessarily, but it's dressed a little different and is acting the same.

It's not easy to do the unpopular thing.
Eric Reid -
I think players on all teams are close.

For me, when I make a mistake on the field, it hurts. I usually don't forget it until the same situation comes up and I make it right.

I've just always done what I've felt is best, according to what the Bible tells me. That's why I started protesting, and that's what I continue to do every day.
Eric Reid -
I think that's something that we as black people in this country have been robbed of. I compare it to my brother's wife, who is Hispanic. She was born in America but her parents are from Honduras. She speaks Spanish. She knows the culture. But most black people, we were robbed of that. We don't know our heritage.
Eric Reid -
I can't imagine how traumatic it must be to have a gun pointed to your head for no reason at all.

My mother served in the Armed Forces.
Eric Reid -
I played a ton of special teams at LSU. I'm familiar with it, I'm comfortable doing it.
Eric Reid -
As long as you focus on getting better at one thing a day it accumulates.
Eric Reid -
Obviously I descend from Africa.
Eric Reid -
I refuse to be one of those people who watches injustices yet does nothing.
Eric Reid -
I still bleed purple and gold, so it was a no-brainer for me to go to LSU.
Eric Reid

The goal is to keep the dialogue open. There are issues in the USA that a lot of people feel strongly about. The goal is just to fix those issues. To make progress on those issues.
Eric Reid -
I do like playing strong safety.
Eric Reid -
There are issues in this country that a lot of people feel strongly about.
Eric Reid -
It's funny, you'll probably find me more often watching soccer than a football game, because I get enough football in my daily schedule.
