I don't want to put off negative vibes to my teammates. That's kind of my leadership mentality.

I'd much rather throw for a touchdown than run for one.

Being paid as a professional athlete didn't change how hard I was working because I'm always going to do that, whether it's the weight room or the film room.

Football is always going to be a means to an end. The physicality of the game - your body can't hold up. There's life after football, and I do worry. I don't want to put myself in jeopardy. I probably need to be more cautious, but this is me. It still isn't going to change the way I play.

When you're one-dimensional, someone can just focus on that and really stop that.
