Coming in as an undrafted rookie, I wanted to make sure I competed every day against those talented receivers. Brandon Lloyd, he was a great guy to go against because I did a lot of scout team. Going against him every day along with all those other receivers really helped me polish my game.

Route running is an art, not a science.
-
You're going to hit some rough patches. You're going to run into obstacles. People are going to say, 'You can't do it.' But you have to persevere. You have to keep working hard and believing in yourself.
-
You always respect the vets.
-
It doesn't matter where you start out, it's where you end up.
-
You just never know how back injuries are going to affect you.
-
Once I retire, I would definitely love to be a DJ. That would be fun.
-
My mom, she thought I was the best. My sisters, maybe, but maybe that's not objective or anything. But if you believe in yourself, your family believes in you, you put in the work, do it right, you only need one other person to believe in you. That doesn't seem like a lot, but sometimes it is.
-
The franchise tag, it's a one-year deal. I would like a little bit more stability.
-
You're out there on an island. It's just you and the best receiver, man-to-man, in one-on-one coverage a lot of the time. And you don't really get any help. If you get beat, everyone can see. If you get scored on, everyone knows. That's the difficulty of playing corner.
-
The underdog is a person that's at risk, a person that has a lot of big trials you have to overcome. I mean, that was my life.
-
I'm undrafted. It's always going to be like that. I have to go above and beyond on everything that I do, even though I have the stats.
-
I think I was just very determined, on a whole other level, just to play in this league.
-
I want to keep getting all-pros, keep stacking them.
-
There is always pressure playing cornerback. It's just a position where you're always in the spotlight.
-
As a cornerback, you only get probably about 5 chances to really impact the game.
-
I would love to be in a zone concept every once in a while. Probably later on in my career.
-
My boys - T.J. Ward, Aqib Talib, Kayvon Webster, DeMarcus Ware, all those guys - I built very, very close relationships with those guys, and I would like to continue to build that for the rest of my career.
-
I loved Lil Wayne growing up; he was like the king when I was growing up. I remember 'Fireman.' That was one of my favorite songs.
-
To be able to bring a championship back to Denver means everything.
-
I think having a strong wife and having a solid family are things that have helped me out a lot.
-
It's tough when you get beat. You have to be able to come back mentally. Sometimes the offense is going to win, but you have to be able to be level-headed and not get too upset when they do catch the ball.
-
I think you have to have the talent, and guys have to believe in what you're doing. Everybody has to play to the end.
-
I like playmakers, man, if it's a playmaker on defense or offense, just a guy who is going to put up some points, a guy who's going to be able to change the game.
