"I may be a successful football player, but I feel like such a failure."

"You're only as good as your last pass."

"I love doing what I do."

"I don't really care what's going on I just care about getting my job done the best that I can possibly do and deal with the other things in my life that take a lot of time and a lot of thought."

"I've seen a lot of people jump on and off my bandwagon."

"I'm pretty boring really."

"I'd write over and over, 'I will not throw into coverage.'"

"I can't believe I survived, not only my life, but I am still playing football 'cause half of those eight or nine years I don't even remember."

"It's not so much about killing an animal, it's being at peace and you don't have to worry about all the other things that go on. That's a couple of hours a week that you get to escape but it's nice to do that."

"If I can change than anyone can change. I promise you that."

"My wife, she still gives me a hard time, and says I hunt too much or I like to play golf too much. And she's probably right, but it sure beats some of the things I used to do."

"I think people have all faced decisions at times where you never know."

"I've been pretty fortunate."

"It's fun leading this offense. I don't think we've hit our peak."
