Tyrann Mathieu

You gotta have faith. You gotta keep your head up.

I take the good; I take the bad. I don't outweigh them. I just try to balance it all.

I've always been quiet, for the most part, especially any time I've come into a new environment.

But, most of the time it takes people to hit rock bottom for them to start believing in themselves, and start seeking help.

Any team that's consistent over time, you have to respect what they have.

I want people who go through tough times, hard times, or didn't have everything right-things didn't fall in their lap or go in their favor-to know that they can still achieve their dream and go to the highest of the highs.

I think Tom Brady is one of the greatest competitors of all time.

When you surround yourself with the wrong people it's going to backfire every time.

Any time I'm healthy I feel like I'm the best defensive player in the NFL.

I just want to be remembered as an inspiration. I don't want to be remembered as anything else.

Big-time college ball is a business, and they work you to death. You're in the gym at 7 A. M., got classes all morning, then five hours of practice a day.
