Chris Long

I wouldn't be anywhere close to where I am today without my pops. I think a lot of a football player's makeup is mental, and I've been blessed to have someone to learn from. Not just from a technical standpoint, but everything he taught me about being a hard worker, a teammate and just being a football player.

Before I was a champion, I failed, and I was afraid.

Continuity is one of the hardest things to come by in the NFL.

In New England, I learned so much about football. I always thought I was a smart player, even though I never thought about anything but the six inches in front of my face. In New England, I was forced to learn so many schematic concepts.

Tom Brady blew me away. Who's the most famous athlete of our generation: Tom Brady? LeBron? Messi? Ronaldo? Serena Williams? Maybe I haven't been around enough to know how the biggest stars really act. But Brady is a normal guy.

My dad was able to give me everything through football.

For Laura Ingraham to go after LeBron for speaking out politically is ridiculous.

I think of myself as a complete person, not just a football player and athlete.

I'm a bit biased with my love for Kyle Long. I would say he's the best bald guard in football.

You'll learn that the most worthwhile exercises are preceded by this very human phenomenon, fear. Marriage, parenthood, relationships.

I came to Philly not only because of the quality of the team and the organization, but also the fans, the passion - it's really palpable in that city.

I love Philadelphia.
