It was a wonderful experience to play in the NFL, and I have no regrets. I truly will miss playing for the Lions. I consider the Lions’ players, coaches, staff, management and fans my family. I leave on good terms with everyone in the organization.

If I could start with anybody, I would initially draft Tom Brady. Then I would go get Ray Lewis, and then maybe an offensive lineman, or somebody like Adrian Peterson.

Christianity affects your whole life. I feel I’m more competitive, a better player, but off the field is where there is always a battle.

I’m not better than anyone else. I’m not supposed to be on a pedestal. I’ve always stayed away from that.
