I just don't want to get in a situation where I'm negotiating my health for money. ”

Sometimes men and women have trouble with just being vulnerable. ”

I think, in the eyes of a lot of circles, especially within football, I'm the soft guy. But I'm fine with being the soft, healthy guy. ”

My height might be a disadvantage in some parts of my game, but it is a big advantage in rushing the passer. ”

I'm involved in so many cool and interesting and redeeming things. I'm enjoying every day. ”

The act of riding a bicycle isn't causing brain trauma. Yeah, you could fall, but that's if something goes wrong. Everything could go right in football, and it's still dangerous. ”

I never played the game for money and attention. I love football, and I've had a blast. ”

I would never call myself anti-football. I think I'm pro-information, pro-people making informed individual choices, pro-health, so for that reason, personally, I'm apathetic towards football. But at the same time, I think we can retain some civility, and I understand why people support and love it. ”

I don't dislike football. I love football. ”

Football's extremely important to me. iIt's my passion. ”
