The same mistakes can never be repeated.
The highest standards of conduct must be met by everyone in the NFL because it is a privilege to represent the NFL, not a right.
No one is above the game or the rules that govern it. Respect for the game and the people who participate in it will not be compromised.
I don’t expect to try to get people to like everything I do. I want them to respect what I do.
You have to continue to learn. That’s how you develop. So the people who show that curiosity, that ambition, that willingness to do what it takes to improve and to get better, they’re the people who are going to be successful in the long term.
It’s always unfortunate when something gets misreported and the facts are not clear.
I spent a lot of time in the school psychologist’s office. I didn’t apply myself. My mother thought I had learning disabilities.
My goal was to prove to my family I wasn’t a dummy.
I have to make a lot of decisions that aren’t in the best interests of individuals, whether they be owners, club executives, players.
When there’s a pattern of mistakes, something has got to change.
My job is to protect the integrity of the NFL and to make sure the game is as safe as possible.
I don’t get myself caught up in the rhetoric of any personal comments that are made.
The one thing I would hope would go on my tombstone is, ‘I made my parents proud.’
