It's the same thing as a competitor with anything whether it be a play, an injury, a distraction. You just put it behind you, you take the situation for what it is and you control what you control and the people that do that the best are usually the more successful team, person, individual, what have you.

It doesn't matter what happened in the season or what happened the last play, there's always an opportunity to make the next play.

I'm going to try to go out and do my best, and I'm going to try and compete every play.

I want to be respected based on how I play.

The guys who play at a high level probably think they are better than they are, and that's all right.

A lot of people can talk about their faith. When you live it every day and act on the word of God, it's pretty cool to see.

I've always been a very observant person, a visual person. That's my way of learning. Things on paper, notes and things like that, don't help me the same way as watching things live.

In the NFL, there's never really that moment where you're like, Hey, I made the team. Or: Hey, you made the practice squad. You just kind of show up the next day and go to work. Nobody really says anything. You just kind of go to work.

I love when people doubt me. I love when people don't think that I'm good enough to play at a certain level, not good enough to be a starter, things like that. That's the stuff that drives me.

I had a coach when I was getting recruited say maybe you should play basketball at a Division III level, because you're not good enough to play football in college.

For me, after every game you look yourself in the mirror and ask 'what can i do better, what can i do to help this team?' Then you go back to the drawing board and you go back and you work hard.

Something I remind myself every day, just do your job to the best of your ability and that's the most important thing.

You know, the media always tries to twist things and make things into what they're not.

I wouldn't take back having a kid for the world.

I played college football for free. I had to pay to play, really.

I don't care what people think about me.

I don't care if people think I'm one of the best receivers or one of the worst receivers. I don't really care.

I didn't need to be motivated by other people overlooking me. My motivation was internal, to be better every day.

You have to be different on the field than you are at home.

Joe Mauer, as a local guy, I've looked up to him.

Cris Carter and Randy Moss - they're the guys who made me want to play football and be a receiver.

I do get recognized every once in a while.

I would not be in the NFL, 100 percent, if it wasn't for basketball. I probably wouldn't be where I am without golf and baseball. Golf, for the mental side of the game, being able to focus on the now and take one shot at a time.

My wife and I are breakfast people.
