“I like to see honesty out of people. People who are trustworthy. I like to see people who are involved with The Lord.”

Let me explain my job very simply: My job is to line up five, seven, 10 yards in front of a man and run into him at full speed.

Never be comfortable with just good enough.

Man doesn’t dictate what you do or how you do it. If you believe in God, believe in God; have your faith in him. That’s where my faith lies.

Every day of my life, I’m trying to find a different way to get better.

I honor God that much in the way I play. That’s why I never believe in getting tired. I don’t even know what that word means.

I don’t want to be liked. I want to be respected. Because if you like me you can throw me away too quick. If you respect me, you may not even like what I was wearing, but you’ll say, “I respect that.”

Don’t let your alarm clock, be the only reason you wake up.

When something goes wrong, smile, cause there’s always a next play.

When you try to help people become a better person, you’re going to have to find out what’s really going in their world.

Some people take certain things and they try to forget what that pain felt like. I don’t. I take that same pain and I chase it every time I walk in a weight room.

Daddy wasn’t there for me, so I had to grind every day.

My game is me. I didn’t try to pattern my game after nobody.

Will you be remembered, how would you be remembered, why wouldn’t you fight for the greatest achievement ever?

Who knows what the future holds? It’s all on parenting, one way or another. I don’t care what level it is, it comes back to people learning how to deal with people.

Don’t walk through life just playing football. Don’t walk through life just being an athlete. Athletics will fade. Character and integrity and really making an impact on someone’s life, that’s the ultimate vision, that’s the ultimate goal – bottom line.

There’s some things you can cover up. And there’s some things you can’t.
