I've played with some of the best that have ever played, obviously. I don't know if there is anybody that is a better technician than Peyton Manning. Tom Brady is another quarterback that I was fortunate enough to play with for a bunch of years.

Will it make the game safer for people by moving the extra point back to a 43-yarder? If anything, players are going to rush harder because they're thinking, 'That far of a field goal-type try, we have to go after blocking it more.'

NFL Europe helped me quite a bit. It was a situation where I came out of college and spent the first few months of my career over in Europe.

The only number I care about is the scoreboard.

Coming from a small South Dakota school, it was a different route to get to the NFL. I went from South Dakota State to the World League of American Football with the Amsterdam Admirals, and fortunately I did well enough there that the New England Patriots decided to sign me and give me a chance.

I guess, for me, the ultimate goal is to help me team win games every time I step on the field.

I feel that as long as I'm an asset and not a liability I'm still loving the game as much as I ever have.

I was born with a shotgun in my hand, chasing pheasant through the cornfields. My dad probably started taking me out when I was 4, 5 or 6 years old.

Preparation meets opportunity, and that causes success if you're prepared to do your job and you practice a lot, more times than not you're going to be successful.

Ask a receiver, can we take his gloves off because he's catching the ball too well? Nobody is going to be overly happy about that.
