Zitat des Tages von Eric Weddle:
There's so much uncertainty within certain players and the organization.
When I didn't go to church during my first two years in the NFL, I didn't know how it would impact me as a person. It was hard to go six or seven months without church.
There's a love of San Diego that I will always cherish, but this is the East. It's football - these people love rooting for the Ravens, and this gives you extra motivation in life to go get what you want.
I want everyone to do well and to be as successful as you can. Because at the end of the day, this game is about relationships and what you make of them.
I wanted to be the best, and I was going to outplay anyone out there. I've always been that way.
A lot of guys thought I'd bow down to them, but I wasn't like that. I was just trying to play football and do my thing.
If I don't trim the upper lip, my wife wouldn't kiss me. You have to take into account her needs as well.
I want to continue to show what I'm all about.
I'm a pro. I'm a professional and strive to be the best and try to have fun.
Understanding why we are here, what we are supposed to be doing, relationships, and striving to do more other than play football - when you get understanding like that and apply it, it works wonders.
I think I'm one of the best. If you don't think that, then that's your opinion.
I can sit back in 10, 15, 20 years, when I'm sitting with my kids, I'll be able to say that I'm sitting in Ravens Stadium during a game, and I'm watching one of the best swimmers ever win a Gold for the U.S. You know, as you get older, you cherish those kinds of moments.
The things I felt Baltimore would give me is a team that gives everything for each other and a team that wants to win and has a goal to win a Super Bowl every year.
I love working with the youth. I am just as new to the gospel as lot of the kids, so I get just as much out of it as they do. Just being around them makes it one of the best callings.
Baltimore, it's been an amazing place and experience. It's opened my eyes a little bit just of other organizations. I'm proud to be a part of this team, proud to be part of this group of men that really challenged each other, never pointed the fingers, never turned our backs on each other.
Ed Reed is a legend. Ed Reed will always be the standard that, as players, we look up to and strive to be like.
They welcomed me like I have been a Raven my whole life. It meant a lot to me. I knew what I could bring to the team, on and off the field.
I just wanted to work, build a relationship with my teammates, and earn their trust.
I just want to go out on a high note, go out on top, and lead my team.
It's not a selfish desire, growing a beard, but maybe I need to not have the beard, and it'll bring us more wins.
San Diego is the best city in the world.
If teams are doubting me and offering me such a small amount of money, it might not be worth moving my family.
If I am running 100 yards, I should be cut. Because then I am getting beat. I do not need to be doing that. I need to be running 20, 30, 40 yards as fast as I can over and over and over at optimal energy and efficiency and speed.
Our kids are super outgoing and energetic, and they definitely don't stay in the house at all.
I want to be great. I want to be the best.
