The 25-year-old me would tell the 32-year-old me to take the two rings and go start the next chapter in life, but it's never simple when you still have gas left in the tank.
Quote by -Chris Long
It's a team game, but at the end of the day, you gotta be happy, and you gotta enjoy playing football every day.
Quote by -Chris Long
Any football player will tell you that in July you get this dark cloud over you if you know camp's coming.
Quote by -Chris Long
Do I get irritated by the no-Pro Bowl thing, never making a Pro Bowl? Yeah, I do.
Quote by -Chris Long
I'm a rhythm player. I need to set people up, I need to be in the flow of the game.
Quote by -Chris Long
In New England, I learned so much about football. I always thought I was a smart player, even though I never thought about anything but the six inches in front of my face. In New England, I was forced to learn so many schematic concepts.
Quote by -Chris Long
My mother has been really instrumental in raising a lot of money through the Boys & Girls Club in my hometown.
Quote by -Chris Long
In my career playing football, nobody asked me to do as much as Bill Belichick did.
Quote by -Chris Long
I play in a league that's 70 percent black and my peers, guys I come to work with, guys I respect who are very socially aware and are intellectual guys, if they identify something that they think is worth putting their reputations on the line, creating controversy, I'm going to listen to those guys.
Quote by -Chris Long
This is a wonderful country, and I think everyone agrees on that, but there are things in our country that can improve.
Quote by -Chris Long
If we're saying there are incidents of oppression in this country, systematically or individually in this country, I don't think saying, 'Well, in country X, Y or Z it's 10 times worse' is making things any better. I think that may be true, but why can't we improve?
Quote by -Chris Long
Michelle Obama has also done a lot of work in the scope of educational equity and being able to work with her on some of her initiatives has been awesome. I'm very honored.
Quote by -Chris Long
Educational equity was my way of giving my salary. It's not $10 million or anything. I'm not going to act like I'm the first guy to donate $1 million to something, but it has been good.
Quote by -Chris Long
Too often athletes think there's these norms that I have to fit into and there are people that I have to please.
Quote by -Chris Long
For Laura Ingraham to go after LeBron for speaking out politically is ridiculous.
Quote by -Chris Long
I think of myself as a complete person, not just a football player and athlete.
Quote by -Chris Long
I've been lucky, man. I've been very lucky for 10 years, made a lot of money playing a game, a kids' game.
Quote by -Chris Long
I've been compared to my dad my whole life. That pressure I've learned to deal with.
Quote by -Chris Long
There was a time when I was injured and playing really bad and cut, rightfully so, that I wasn't sure what my future in football was.
Quote by -Chris Long
I do have great memories from when my pops got inducted. Obviously, knowing him and knowing how hard he worked in pro football for so long and what he sacrificed, the physical side of it, the injuries, and the grinding and now eight years into the NFL you know what hard work that is.
Quote by -Chris Long
The 24-hour news cycle is kind of insatiable. Players in the '80s and '90s didn't have to deal with that scrutiny.
Quote by -Chris Long
I wouldn't be anywhere close to where I am today without my pops. I think a lot of a football player's makeup is mental, and I've been blessed to have someone to learn from. Not just from a technical standpoint, but everything he taught me about being a hard worker, a teammate and just being a football player.
Quote by -Chris Long
Tom Brady blew me away. Who's the most famous athlete of our generation: Tom Brady? LeBron? Messi? Ronaldo? Serena Williams? Maybe I haven't been around enough to know how the biggest stars really act. But Brady is a normal guy.
Quote by -Chris Long
When I entered free agency, I said whatever team I end up on, I'm going to work.
Quote by -Chris Long
I think a lot of times with football players, we're just head down, grinding away, maybe not enjoying it as much as we should.
Quote by -Chris Long
I've heard a lot of people say you need white athletes to get involved in the anthem protests. I've said before I'll never kneel for an anthem, because the flag means something different for everybody in this country, but I support my peers.
Quote by -Chris Long
I am incredibly thankful that football has provided me with a platform to give back and I am proud that so many of my colleagues have decided to use this stage to create positive and impactful change in our local communities and around the world.
Quote by -Chris Long
I think the one commonality between the two Super Bowl teams I've been on is great, great teammates. I can honestly say that guys in Philly could definitely thrive in New England and vice versa - if you throw out the scheme differences.
Quote by -Chris Long
Wherever I go and whoever I go play for, I'm a football player. I enjoy playing football, I enjoy the game, I enjoy being a teammate.
Quote by -Chris Long
Ties in the NFL absolutely suck. Trust me, I was involved with a tie against the San Francisco 49ers when I was with the Rams in 2012 and it felt pointless.
Quote by -Chris Long
I'm a bit biased with my love for Kyle Long. I would say he's the best bald guard in football.
Quote by -Chris Long
I've had to work and scratch and claw for every inch of what I've gotten as a football player.
Quote by -Chris Long
I came to Philly not only because of the quality of the team and the organization, but also the fans, the passion - it's really palpable in that city.
Quote by -Chris Long
I think if you show a player an avenue to make a difference, he's going to bring that same intensity he brings on the field in his community.
