You have setbacks in your life, and adversity. You can be discouraged about it or have courage to get through it and be better.
Someone has to be the villain. I'm the most villainized player right now. People don't like me.
It's not about me. I think people are too caught up with what I'm doing. It's just numbers. I'm trying to win.
Last time I checked, no one is perfect.
Sometimes I get emotional. I let my emotions get the best of me.
My dad showed me a football and would throw it up and have my dog - a German Shepherd - chase me around when I went after the ball. I caught it because I was scared of that dog. The next year, my dad talked to the commissioner of a local league and convinced him to let me play as a first grader with third graders.
All I'm trying to do is be me.
I'm not trying to get in good graces of anybody. I just want to be myself and be the guy that helps out in the community, because that's who I am.
It's everything to me. This is my life. I love football so much.
I've played this game since I was in second grade, and there's nothing more important to me than playing football.
I'm a normal person. You say something about me, I'm going to say something back, funny or not. I'm just going to be me. It's nothing against them. I'm just doing what you do to me.
You troll me, I'm going to troll you.
My thing of not playing offensive tackle is the health issue. I don't want to be that big. That could end up not being good for your health.
Being 300-some pounds is not always healthy. You can say what you want about it, I don't want to do it.
I'm really blessed to have an amazing family.
It's one-of-a-kind, because some people would die to have the family I do.
I kind of knew. I said, 'Yeah, I'm not going to be able to play in the NBA. That's just not going to happen. Let that dream go.'
I think guys that play basketball really understand how to go up and get a ball. Because in a rebound situation, you've got to go up and fight for a ball. Just boxing out. There are a lot of things that transfer.
Being able to play basketball at a high level, adjusting to the ball in the air, quick feet, quick hands and all that stuff definitely translates to playing tight end in the National Football League.
Foot work, hand-eye coordination. There's a lot of things. If you just watch basketball, you can tell where it would help someone who's receiving the ball.
