Basketball players want contact to get a foul called. Slaps on the wrist and bumps on the shoulder are big time to them, and they don’t like that. In football, you get that all the time. The whole mental makeup is different.

My legacy isn’t about what I did playing football, but how I use the opportunities that came from playing football.

I’m about a 160, 170 bowler so I feel like I’m pretty good – I’m average, but I don’t stink, you know?

Kids tend to look up to sports figures and entertainers, probably more than they should, but I’ve tried to use that in a positive way.

In football, it’s the ultimate team sport. You have to have good people around you as a quarterback for things to happen.

I love basketball players for what they do for their size – so graceful.

Sportsmanship is making sure you have respect for the guy you’re playing across from.

I was always geared towards either wanting to finish number one or be number one as far as the best player that I could be, or be the best player at my position in the league. I wanted that to be a constant reminder to my teammates that they looked to their leader who is wearing that number, this is what you should strive for as well.

That was probably one of the things that if I look back at my career and say what is something I would try and do a little bit differently, I’d try and be a little bit more loose playing the game. Have a little more fun doing it.
