Don't walk through life just playing football. Don't walk through life just being an athlete. Athletics will fade. Character and integrity and really making an impact on someone's life, that's the ultimate vision, that's the ultimate goal - bottom line.

My mom calls me an older soul because, growing up, she taught me stuff real early. Now I spend most of my time chasing wisdom, chasing understanding.

I like to see honesty out of people. People who are trustworthy. I like to see people who are involved with The Lord.

Man doesn't dictate what you do or how you do it. If you believe in God, believe in God; have your faith in him. That's where my faith lies.

So, if I give any credit, besides giving all credit to God, for being totally healthy, it's just my workout and how much torture I put my body through in the offseason.

God has never made a mistake. Ever.

You got to be willing to walk in a storm. That's what I tell people all the time.

And I love Evander Holyfield to death!

The person you are in the dark will eventually be the person you are in the light.
