Football Quotes

I still feel like I've got a lot of great football in front of me and the way that I've taken care of myself better the last few years.

I know that I'm going out there, and I know that I am going to get hit in the head. I know that's part of football. That's like a firefighter knowing he is going to go into a fire at some point. You know you are going to be put in danger's way, and you accept that risk, and you do it.
