My hair is crazy, so it's really easy to notice me in public.

I want to help establish opportunities for at-risk kids to have the same opportunities in and outside of the classroom as everyone else.

They give us this presentation every year about the NFL being a brotherhood. And if something is going on with one of your brothers, I feel like we should be there to have his back and speak up for him.

I've always rooted on kids that do what they want to do and are being who they want to be.

A lot of the things I've talked about are being a human being, being respectful, and really just caring about others, and trying to draw the line in the sand when it comes to hate and divisiveness.

People told me I was more of a soccer player, not a football player.

My parents, they were just really strict on things being perfect.

I can walk into Walmart in California and not really get mentioned for being a football player.

I'll always have a chip on my shoulder. I always view myself as an underdog.

A lot of people don't realize the toll put on activists. There's a very draining element to it.

Drew Brees is going to be in the Hall of Fame.

I decided to protest in 2016 because I was feeling helpless and somebody needed to do something.
