I think I have a tendency to look at things subjectively rather than objectively when I reflect on my experience. ↗

I think if I were a college professor, no one would say I was uncomfortable about being shy because that might be expected. But I think because of people's stereotypes, they think of a football player as someone who is very outgoing and I'm not. ↗

I think it's very easy for people to stereotype athletes, good and bad. ↗

I want to really start focusing on what I want to accomplish and what it is I want to achieve, but not micromanaging this or that and focusing on the little things. ↗

I would drive home and see people wearing my No. 34 jersey and wonder why, because I didn't feel worthy of that. And all the time I just knew people were staring at me, talking about me everywhere I went. ↗

I'm closer to being happy. I'm doing things that make me happy. In football I loved to practice and I loved to play, but I hated to be in meetings, hated to talk to the media, hated to have cameras in my face, hated to sign autographs. I hated to do all those things. ↗

I've let a lot of things go, and obviously football is one of them. I think the hardest thing to let go is your self-image. That's what I'm working on now. ↗

If you identify yourself as a great football player, anytime anyone challenges that, you're going to have some kind of problem. ↗

One of my biggest problems is that I'm always so influenced by what other people are thinking about me. ↗

One thing I've learned about life is that if you really let go, it's just a joy ride. ↗
