I am an honest, God-fearing man who is intensely dedicated to being the best person I can be on and off the football field.
Tomorrow doesn't really exist.
If you want to surf, move to Hawaii. If you like to shop, move to New York. If you like acting and Hollywood, move to California. But if you like college football, move to Texas.
Maybe I'm stupid or whatever, but to me if I got a concussion, if I could see straight and I could carry a football then I'm not telling anybody.
The NFL has been an amazing page in this chapter of my life. I pray that all successive adventures offer me the same potential for growth, success and most importantly fun.
If you identify yourself as a great football player, anytime anyone challenges that, you're going to have some kind of problem.
I stepped away to find out more about myself, which I was having difficulty doing as a football player. I got a chance to travel the world. I studied Eastern philosophy, and I've grown as a person so much.
Anytime you play a team sport, the success of the team really makes everything better. It's nice.
I do feel like a loner but I think it's because I look at things differently than other people.
I've let a lot of things go, and obviously football is one of them. I think the hardest thing to let go is your self-image. That's what I'm working on now.
People are hungry because they're eating empty foods. Mine are full, and so am I.
I allowed myself to think if I could be doing anything in the world, what would I be doing? And what came to mind is I'd be traveling a little bit, I'd be going to classes and I'd be going back to school.
As human beings we have a tendency when we like something to tie it up and make sure it's there for a long time. I've been working on being able to let things go. I don't think I ever want to buy property again.
Sometimes success will get in the way of maturity - at least temporarily.
To talk about balance, it's easier to talk about what's out of balance. And I think anytime that you have any disease, and disease meaning lack of ease, lack of flow... dis-ease. So any time there's disease, you're out of balance, whether it's jealousy, anger, greed, anxiety, fear.
It's good to do things slow in the bush. It makes you appreciate everything a lot more.
I had this notion that everyone was staring at me and judging everything about me, from my appearance to the way I talk and everything.
I'm a huge gamer, everything from PC to Xbox to PS2.
At the core, we're all spiritual beings.
I realized a while back that I have an innate ability to be compassionate, and I saw that the strength of compassion is something that healers have and healers use.'
I like to live in places that are kind of off in the cuts so people can't really find me even if they wanted to.
I feel no need and have no desire to give any attention to other people's opinion of me.
I had a lot of friends in high school and in college, and we had a good time.
If I can walk, I'll play.
There's nothing I miss about anything in the whole wide world. The idea of missing something means you're not living in the moment. Every moment is good for something.
I've never been in trouble with the police.
