Football has molded me in many ways, and I've had great experiences. But when I step back, I know that football is not what drives me. It's not really what's important.
I don't want to put off negative vibes to my teammates. That's kind of my leadership mentality.
I'd much rather throw for a touchdown than run for one.
Being paid as a professional athlete didn't change how hard I was working because I'm always going to do that, whether it's the weight room or the film room.
Football is always going to be a means to an end. The physicality of the game - your body can't hold up. There's life after football, and I do worry. I don't want to put myself in jeopardy. I probably need to be more cautious, but this is me. It still isn't going to change the way I play.
When you're one-dimensional, someone can just focus on that and really stop that.
