I'm always trying to play for respect. I don't play the game for much else.

America's an awesome country, man. Everybody knows that.

It's unbelievable how far my career has taken me.

A mullet is something that takes time and effort.

I've been compared to my dad my whole life. That pressure I've learned to deal with.

I'm open for whatever any team asks me to do.

It's an accomplishment to play in the NFL.

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.

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.

The 24-hour news cycle is kind of insatiable. Players in the '80s and '90s didn't have to deal with that scrutiny.

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.

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.

When I entered free agency, I said whatever team I end up on, I'm going to work.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I'm a bit biased with my love for Kyle Long. I would say he's the best bald guard in football.

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

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 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.

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