Really, those 60 minutes when I am on the field is my time to enjoy myself, and I don't have to worry about anything, play the game that I love.

Deacon Jones grew up a street over from my grandfather, where I was raised.
-
I could have made a lot of bad decisions, and some I did, but fortunately, I learned from those mistakes, and once they happened, I never really made those mistakes again.
-
I don't want to be a 'me' guy.
-
I want to be a Hall of Famer, go to Pro Bowls every year - just make sure my name is remembered after I leave.
-
I never met him. But just growing up where Deacon Jones did, he motivated me to be great, showing the NFL was possible.
-
It keeps me humble just to know exactly where I came from and all the hard work I had to put in to be here. It feels good to reminisce about the past.
-
To be honest, football is my main goal. I never really had a backup plan.
-
Ever since I stepped into this league and realized I can play here and be one of the best players in the league, getting paid has never been on my mind. Because I know it's going to happen.
-
I understand what's going on in this world. But cops have to go home at the end of the day. They have a family. They have to go home, too.
-
Coach Saban did his best job to make me a better player and a better person. I thank him for that.
-
Leaving a legacy beyond just playing football has become extremely important to me.
-
I owe a lot to Darren Perry. I don't think I'd be this far this early if it wasn't for him pushing me to run an extra second or showing me a play on film and telling me when I see it, that's the green light to go do it and don't be afraid to take that next step and take chances. That's what the game is about.
-
Even if I just change one kid's life in my time on Earth, my life is complete. I'll be happy with that. I'll be satisfied with that.
-
You've just got to play complementary football; you've just got to wait your time.
-
Anytime you get a win in this league, it's a blessing.
-
I know what I do. I know what I put on film. I know what I try to do. I don't want to talk about what I've done.
-
I take the path I want to take in life and do the things I'd like to succeed in.
-
The league is crazy. It's hard to win in this league, and you have teams coming at you every week with players just as good as you.
-
People have called me Ha Ha since I was in elementary school, so that's just what it's been.
-
It is one thing to be successful on the field, but to be recognized for something off-field is a completely different and inspiring feeling.
-
I was a bass fisherman. I liked bass. That was my thing.
-
I just want to give back and kind of be a resource for younger generations.
-
I just want to continue getting better and build as a player.
