Growing up as a little kid, I wasn’t always this size. I got picked on a lot.
When I go out there and play I just play.
You have not seen my face go across the screen for any off the field problems, period.
You should know how to do your job.
When I was a kid, I’d watch pro football on TV and I’d see someone make a play and I’d say, ‘I wish that could be me.’ But then I’d have to wonder, ‘Could I make that big play?’
You have a white guy as an announcer and sportscaster. Me, I’m black. I do it and I’ve already done some stuff in the past. We’re more expressive than the white guys. You look at the skill players. We’re the ones that get into the end zone. We get in the end zone more than they do.
I’ve never really thought of myself as having an ego. I’ve always found myself as having a lot of confidence. I know I have a lot of great ability. I know what I bring to the table.
Like I have said all along, I have the best doctor of all, and that is God. You can’t argue with a guy like that.
I feel now I can take my talent through the roof.
There has to be a beginning somewhere and my thing is that I am going to give it all I got.
I had my family before I played football.
I’ve only been on one vacation ever. I just went to Acapulco before training camp.
Like my boy tells me; if it looks like a rat and smells like a rat, by golly, it is a rat.
I wrote the book not to prove people wrong but just to get the insight on who I am as a person.
I would not have gone to Philly if I really did not have my free agency right, if I did not have a case, period.
Off the field I’m down to earth. I’m a very caring person. I’m a very giving person.
That goes with the saying that you call on God a lot of times and you pray for things and it may not happen at that moment.
I think there is something bigger in store for me.
I never had any run in with the law.
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.
