Not that I don't care about winning or I don't care about doing well, but I have to care less about the things that happen that are outside of my control.
Before I became a leader, I thought success was all about building myself up. But then, once I became a leader, I realized that success is about building others up.
You're always fighting the demons.
I think you have to have a bit of an anger-management issue, to be honest with you. Usually, slot guys are a lot smaller and quicker, but at the same time, you have to go in there and block linebackers and safeties, and so you have to be aggressive.
Honestly, I think the combine is a waste of time. The effort should be in film watching, physicals, and mental evaluations.
If you can play football, you can play football. Measurables at the combine don't change that.
I want to know what coverage it is every single time. I want to line up and be able to read what the defense is trying to do to me so I can get open.
Instincts are learned on the football field through experience. It's vital in sports because things happen so rapidly that you have to rely on your instincts at times to make quick decisions.
Good instincts are vital to longevity in the NFL.
I would say I had anger-management issues, to be honest with you. But it was only on the football field.
Let's be honest: Everyone has got their opinion. It doesn't mean their opinion is an intelligent one.
My motivation comes from the plays I didn't make.
I take pride in my craft, and I work extremely hard.
I support Kam Chancellor as a person.
I'm not one of those typical receivers who's like a robot in the slot or outside.
The route may, say, go across the field for 22 yards. I know I have to be there, but how I get there is where they allow me to be creative.
Anytime you get to go up against guys that have done well in this league, who have dominated in this league, you have got to rise to the challenge.
I've just stopped worrying about what the game plan looks like, how many targets am I going to have in a game, all of the stuff that would distract me when having fun out there on the football field. It's allowed me to be less stressed and enjoy my teammates more and go out there with a loose mentality and have more fun.
I feel like I am a better person because of my struggles, because of my challenges and persevering through them and realizing the mistakes that I've made, correcting them.
I'm on the record as saying Andrew Luck can be the greatest quarterback who ever played the game of football. I've seen him do some unbelievable things that I still can't believe a quarterback was able to do. I have tremendous respect for that guy.
