When I was growing up I would always watch the more experienced players to see what they were doing and why they were doing it.

You want to achieve the most you can in the short period you have in your career as a professional footballer.

Every experience, good or bad, is a learning process.

Players at the highest level have got high football intelligence, so they can adapt, but at the same time you need a structure and an idea of how you've got to play that system.

I've said before, 'gymnastics is abusive,' but now I know it's not the sport that's abusive - it's the culture that was created and accepted and normalized.

It was always my dream to go to LSU and play football.

When I played pro football, I never set out to hurt anyone deliberately - unless it was, you know, important, like a league game or something.
