Most injuries require chiropractic care. It works better for me than anything else.
I feel like I’m the best, but you’re not going to get me to say that.
I just want the same thing Joe Montana got when he was MVP. He got respect. He got commercials. He got everything.
I’m really looking forward to the Hall of Fame ceremonies. It’s going to be unbelievable – just crazy. I’m looking forward to thanking all the fans for inspiring me to go out there and play my best football each and every game.
You know, I never looked down the road and said, ‘Hey look, one day, the Hall of Fame.’ It’s always about playing each and every game 100 percent and I thank my teammates for getting me into the Hall because football is a team sport, not an individual sport.
There is still a lot of football in me and I enjoy watching the players go out there and be the best players they can possibly be.
My work ethic came from my parents and my fear of failure. I came from a small, predominantly black school and I didn’t want to let them down.
Montana and I had a chemistry that was unbelievable. When I first came into the league he told me I added five years to his career, and I just think we complimented each other very well and were able to do some amazing things out on the football field.
Defensive backs are the best players on the field. But when you get an exceptional player like a Deion Sanders or a Darrell Green – these guys are fast and they have very good technique. You have to work a little harder.
I think it was fantastic being in the 49ers Hall of Fame.
I’m used to performing under pressure, but that’s playing football.
The same thing I applied to football, I applied to trying to be an actor and hopefully it came off well.
I want people to know if they have any hurting in their back, or any tingling or anything like that, go see a chiropractor and help yourself feel better about your body and take some of that pain away.
As a fan, you want to be able to go to a football game, you want to feel secure, you want to be able to just watch the game, root for your team, and that’s the way it should be.
I went out there to play my game for the fun of it and never based my career around records.
The things that are happening to me are unbelievable. I’m actually busier right now than when I played football. This is almost like I’m coming back out of retirement. It will be fun to see myself in the game.
The absolute worst thing a receiver can do is worry about not catching the ball or about getting hit.
People would look at me weird. You know, like, ‘Why is this guy’s hands always in his pockets?’ But I was embarrassed by the size of my hands.
I was always in search of a perfect game and I never got it.
When you begin to lose the fire a little bit and if you’re not giving 100 percent out there, then it’s time for you to leave because you’ll end up getting hurt – I want to be able to walk away on top.
