You never know what a person is going through, regardless of how much money they make or however great a life you think they're living.Collection: Money
I feel like football players are overworked and underpaid compared to any other sports.Collection: Sports
A lot of emotional stress that people go through, some people figure out a way to handle it. They have a strong enough support system to keep going and keep moving forward. And some people, they feel like they don't have that outlet.
A lot of people think I'm stuck up. Pretty much that I'm arrogant. I only do that when I'm on the field.
I wanted a NBA basketball gym at my house and that's what I worked hard for and I was able to achieve that.
I think at some point during the course of the game, I will have an impact - whether it's blocking or whether it's catching the football.
I didn't know who my daddy was until I was 10 or 12. Surprising as it may seem, he was living right across the street.
I think people change, but the media, they never allowed me to change. They never allowed me to be a better person.
I may be a public figure, but really, I'm just like a guy who could be in your family and have some difficult things happen to him.
Everything that I've gone through since the end of 2010, from me finding out about my financial adviser stealing, mismanaging my money - that affected everything, from child support, mortgages, to me having to sell my properties, me being in and out of court trying to modify my child support. It's a lot to deal with at one time.
Some people are too prideful to go out and reach out to people to help them in that situation because it's just such a dark time.
People forget that I'm a human being, just because I play a sport that everybody loves. We're human. We're not invincible. We share the same feelings and emotions that people on the outside feel. I don't think people really understand that.
There are things players go through on an everyday basis in the business of football. You don't see it all with the glitz and glamour of game day.
I've sustained a meniscus injury, shortly after that I sustained an ACL injury so really just going through that and going through some personal issues, personal problems within myself.

Yes, I am a narcissist. The best, too.Collection: Narcissist
Ill watch the highlights every now and then but, as far as watching the game, I feel like I am the game.Collection: Games
That just shows you their type of class and integrity. They claim to be first class and the best organization. It's an embarrassment and it shows the lack of class that they really have.....The Eagles would be undefeated right now with Green Bay's quarterback. We'd probably be in a much better position with him on the team (instead of present Eagles quarterback Donavon McNabb).Collection: Integrity
I may not say it all the time or I may not pray as much as I need to, but I am not forgetting where I came from and how I got to be where I am today.Collection: Needs
I've never really thought of myself as having an ego. I've always found myself as having a lot of confidence. I know I have a lot of great ability. I know what I bring to the table.Collection: Ego
I'm smart enough to know when I've done something wrong, but I don't understand this. Guys are beating their wives, getting DUIs and doing drugs, and I get national attention for a Sharpie? People are personally attacking me, calling me a classless asshole because I did something creative during a game. Why?Collection: Smart
When I was a kid, I'd watch pro football on TV and I'd see someone make a play and I'd say, 'I wish that could be me.' But then I'd have to wonder, 'Could I make that big play?'Collection: Football
There has to be a beginning somewhere and my thing is that I am going to give it all I got.Collection: Giving
Jerry (Rice) played until he was 42. At 39, I ran a 4.43 40-yard dash. You look at the number of dropped balls and the way guys are playing now and you can't honestly say I can't do better.Collection: Numbers
Like my boy tells me; if it looks like a rat and smells like a rat, by golly, it is a rat.Collection: Boys
