I may not say it all the time or I may not pray as much as I need to, but I am not forgetting where I came from and how I got to be where I am today.
I left a lot – a lot – of touchdowns on the field throughout the last two or three years.
I knew I was going to have success here.
I just feel like with God you can’t be defeated.
The only people that really matter are the people that are in my inner circle.
I have donated money to the kids overseas, the open hand project and the homeless.
I don’t need the recognition and I did not expect it.
I know the microphones and cameras are on me. They’re looking at my gestures and taking it and running with it because of things that have happened in the past. It’s very unfair.
But if you look at the big scheme of things, I have never failed, regardless of anything I have had to go through: from Dallas, to the sharpie, to me getting involved with a debate with my coach, a lot of people look to see my fail.
I feel like it was a little disrespectful but you know what I feel like, I have been successful, blessed and I keep my faith in God, man, and I just keep it moving.
Say I had been with a guy like Tom Brady, Peyton Manning or Drew Brees all of my career. Are you kidding me?
I feel like football players are overworked and underpaid compared to any other sports.
A lot of people think I’m stuck up. Pretty much that I’m arrogant. I only do that when I’m on the field.
It doesnt matter what people say about me, I weather the storm.
Ill watch the highlights every now and then but, as far as watching the game, I feel like I am the game.
God blessed me to play football.
I don’t want that to be the headline.
Don’t say I don’t get along with my teammates. I just don’t get along with some of the guys on the team.
This is a dirty business, that is why I go out and play with my heart. I feel like football players are overworked and underpaid compared to any other sports. This is like a nine to five. No guaranteed contracts, and that is the worst thing about it.
I know my body better than anything, better than anybody.
