My dad taught me to work hard and to be the same guy every day. If that's going 100 miles per hour and working hard, then that's what I'll do.
Quote by -Chris Long
I think that's just the way football is supposed to be played, at a high speed.
Quote by -Chris Long
I've dealt every day of my life with my dad's career, the comparisons to him, with people wanting me to live up to him. I just put that stuff out of my head, I don't even hear it after awhile - I just turn my ears off.
Quote by -Chris Long
The great thing is my dad was OK with whatever I wanted to do. He always supported me, and once I showed I was serious about football, that's when he really started to get involved and give me pointers.
Quote by -Chris Long
Baseball was always my favorite sport, and I thought it would be the sport I'd pursue for the long term. But I guess about my sophomore year in high school, I started really getting into football, and then it just took off from there.
Quote by -Chris Long
I don't know that I've gotten to the point where people know me more than my dad or that I ever will or even want to get to that point.
Quote by -Chris Long
There's no secret about it: Every team does things differently. Seattle runs their program one way. New England runs it another way. Philly runs it another way.
Quote by -Chris Long
I've noticed that right tackles have gotten better in pass pro throughout my career.
Quote by -Chris Long
I'm very proud of my dad. To me, there are comparisons, but there aren't comparisons. We kind of play two different positions. He's a Hall of Famer, I'm not a Hall of Famer.
Quote by -Chris Long
Even when I was being recruited here to the University of Virginia, a lot of people in my own community didn't think I was Division I football material because I played at a small private school.
Quote by -Chris Long
One thing I take pride in is that I never cracked and stopped playing hard. There's something to be said for that, because life doesn't always throw the best situations at you.
Quote by -Chris Long
Football, for me, wasn't a foregone conclusion. My parents didn't force me into it, and quite the opposite happened.
Quote by -Chris Long
Playing eight years, never making the playoffs, you feel like you're running on a treadmill that's going nowhere. You're like, 'Is this it? Is this all football is?'
Quote by -Chris Long
I never mean to make a headline where it's like, 'Chris Long unsure.' I never try to make it sound like I'm under the impression it matters either way if I play or anybody cares.
Quote by -Chris Long
You'll learn that the most worthwhile exercises are preceded by this very human phenomenon, fear. Marriage, parenthood, relationships.
Quote by -Chris Long
Everyone fears change. But what you'll find is that change breeds your most important accomplishments.
Quote by -Chris Long
Some people are tired of hearing me tweet because they want me to stick to football but I like to use social media like I was a regular guy because I think I am.
Quote by -Chris Long
This is not supposed to be a fascist country, where you are forced to do things you don't want to do. This is a free country.
Quote by -Chris Long
At 33 years old, I think any player my age should take time to take inventory and see what their situation is and see how the body feels.
Quote by -Chris Long
My wife and I have been passionate about education being a gateway for upward mobility and equality.
Quote by -Chris Long
I am honored to be named the 2018 Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year and to join the long line of men who have received this prestigious honor.
Quote by -Chris Long
At the end of the day, Coach Belichick does a great job of bringing in people he knows that will fit well.
Quote by -Chris Long
I think preparing every week like it's the most important game in the world makes things a little easier once you get in situations where a lot more people are watching and it might be a lot more important for people outside of the building.
Quote by -Chris Long
The lead initiative of my foundation is clean water, but not far behind it is military appreciation.
Quote by -Chris Long
Actually, I wanted to play baseball. Honestly, I just think with a kid developing, playing a lot of sports, it's just kind of whatever you're good at.
Quote by -Chris Long
I've been through nine camps, and they're all a little bit different, but at the end of the day, it's just football.
Quote by -Chris Long
I look at the opportunity to play football as a blessing and I think what doesn't kill you certainly makes you stronger.
Quote by -Chris Long
In my training in the summer, back in the day, I used just go, go, go! I wouldn't take any days off, I would do whatever I wanted, as much as I wanted of it.
Quote by -Chris Long
Robert Quinn. He's ridiculous. He can do anything a DB can do... at three hundred pounds!
Quote by -Chris Long
I think a lot of winning a Super Bowl is being at the right place at the right time. It's sacrifice, it's making team plays and being an impactful player is part of it.
Quote by -Chris Long
The older you get, it is harder to prepare physically, even if you have all the experience in the world. You're more sore the next day, you can't pack in as much, and you have to train smarter. You have to pay attention to more subtle things like your warmup routine or core work.
