Your job is never secure as a football player - or coach.
-
To play this game, you've got to have heart, and a lot of guys don't have it. I can sit here and say we all do, but we all don't.
-
The bottom line is I'm a football player, and I played three years of college football, and I produced all three years. I also got better every year, and I just felt like it was time to move on.
-
If I ever catch a ball, I'm going to the end zone.
-
My mom and dad taught me a lot. They kept me out of trouble and told me to go a better route. They taught me how to be a man, basically.
-
I didn't think of football growing up. This wasn't my career, something I chose. It was something I was picked in.
-
I'm not worried about sacks in the preseason.
-
I know when it's time to joke and when it's time to be serious. As far as football goes, I'm serious.
-
When I'm on the field, family-wise, family matters, whatever off-the-field issues, I'm not worried about.
-
I'm a role model.
-
I just want to go out there and play to my full potential, and play a healthy season, know what I'm saying?
-
We moved from place to place, and it was hard to adjust to different schools. But we made it.
-
I was a basketball player. And my mother even wanted me to quit because I hurt my leg. But I didn't know anything about football - from Pee-Wee on up, my friends would play, and I would never go with them.
-
There is a certain way that I play. You just have to have a feel for it. That's something you have to feel as a football player.
-
You've just got to have it, man. Like, in this game of football, you can tell when you look at film who's more passionate about the game.
-
I teach some of the guys stuff that I've learned.
-
Me, personally, I'm going to be out there running full speed and chasing down running backs and chasing down quarterbacks. That's what I do best.
-
I'm going to keep rushing the ball until the whistle blows and it's the end of the game. That's how I'm going to keep playing.
-
You never can stop learning.
-
Each year is a year for you to get better, so that's what I'm trying to do.
-
Once I get on a roll, it's hard to stop me.
-
Honestly, it is not all about attitude; it is all about heart. You can have the attitude, you can have the swagger, you can talk your way, but it is all about heart.
-
Hard work beats talent, and I live by that.
-
You can't predict injuries. That's one thing you can't do.
