QUOTES BY Chris Long


For all the evils in the world, I think apathy is one of the most dangerous.

When I grew up, I had everything you could ask for, and I kind of didn't appreciate it. Because it was a given for me. Everybody that grew up in my neighborhood was going to have an opportunity to go to college. I took that for granted. I always regret that.

And I respect the anthem. I would never kneel for it. We all come from different walks of life and think differently about the anthem and the flag and what that means.

I want to squeeze every drop out of my potential as far as affecting the world around me.

I joke that every time I'm in the playoffs, it feels like I'm in the Super Bowl.

My first big paycheck - this is kind of funny - I bought a Cadillac DTS. I thought it looked really comfortable.

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.

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.

I've had to work and scratch and claw for every inch of what I've gotten as a football player.
