I love working with the youth. I am just as new to the gospel as lot of the kids, so I get just as much out of it as they do. Just being around them makes it one of the best callings.
-
I love the game. But I love my wife and kids more. I can't tell you how many sacrifices I make throughout the season. I leave the house at 4:15 A.M. and get home at 7 P.M. and see my kids an hour every night. It's been sacrificing for nine years. It's not just about what's best for me. It's about what's best for me and my family.
-
It's a blessing to know that the church and the gospel are the same no matter where I go. I can find a church and know the services and feel at home there.
-
I'm as loyal as anyone and will do anything for people I respect. But if you don't give that back to me in return, you're dead to me.
-
It's not a selfish desire, growing a beard, but maybe I need to not have the beard, and it'll bring us more wins.
-
That irritates me the most - missing tackles.
-
When I didn't go to church during my first two years in the NFL, I didn't know how it would impact me as a person. It was hard to go six or seven months without church.
-
I never, ever dreamed that I'd play in the NFL.
-
When your heart tells you something, you have to go with it.
-
Great night. Phelps got a gold. How sick is that.
-
Everybody drops balls every once in awhile. I just can't let it happen.
-
San Diego is the best city in the world.
-
Understanding why we are here, what we are supposed to be doing, relationships, and striving to do more other than play football - when you get understanding like that and apply it, it works wonders.
-
I want to be appreciated, to be loved, to feel wanted.
-
I know what my body can do.
-
I'm not going to waste time or energy spent on something I can't control.
-
I usually take the first batch of some ice cream, eat it, and then about an hour later, at halftime of the Sunday night game, I go after a second serving. So I pretty much get a whole gallon of ice cream Sunday night. It's pretty bad.
-
It honestly feels like high school or college all over again. You're comfortable; you see the game. You've seen a lot of ups and downs, a lot of good plays and bad plays. They're all in the back of your head. It's all just experience over the years. There are guys that play well as rookies, but it's hard.
-
I live and breathe football.
-
If teams are doubting me and offering me such a small amount of money, it might not be worth moving my family.
-
If I am running 100 yards, I should be cut. Because then I am getting beat. I do not need to be doing that. I need to be running 20, 30, 40 yards as fast as I can over and over and over at optimal energy and efficiency and speed.
-
They welcomed me like I have been a Raven my whole life. It meant a lot to me. I knew what I could bring to the team, on and off the field.
-
I want everyone to do well and to be as successful as you can. Because at the end of the day, this game is about relationships and what you make of them.
-
People didn't like me because I didn't take any garbage.
