You know how you hear people say that they had people in their lives who told them they couldn't make it or they couldn't do something? That's not me. That's not my story. My brothers have been there with me since day one. We've been through everything together - good and bad.

You have to be smart as a football player.

Andre Johnson, one of the hardest workers.

I tried to be one of the best-conditioned athletes.

Buckeye born and bred. Now an H-O-F-er - even after I'm dead.

We have the greatest Hall of all the Halls. And to be able to join these men, on this stage, in football heaven is the greatest day of my life.

The history with wide receivers, I follow it pretty close. I look at Art Monk, I look at Lynn Swann, I look at Michael Irvin, and it's becoming very, very difficult to judge the skill of a wide receiver in today's game.

When Buddy Ryan cut me, my wife was pregnant.

It's an unbelievably tough process. And there ain't no bums in the Hall. I mean, they're putting in great players every year. The selection committee they have, I believe, is the right selection of people.

I catch the ball. You throw the ball, I catch it. You throw it close to me, I catch it. If you make me do something crazy to catch, I still catch it.

There are positive steps being taken to tackle issues that people from all walks of life, races, ethnicities, and political persuasions agree have been devastating to communities of color.

When we see active and former NFL players uniting with owners and the League to address injustice, we can see the way football brings people together beyond the game itself.

We have learned from history that change is never easy, that it usually doesn't look pretty, especially in today's politically-charged environment where intent and actions can readily be misconstrued and judged.

Through educational programs, community engagement and legislative efforts, players, owners and the NFL are working with law enforcement, advocacy groups and legislators to transform our communities.

I'm a competitor at the highest level. I like to compete.

I'm a football player. I believe I'm just as tough as anybody else. I try not to play like a wide receiver.
