I don't want players coming in from the college level that are either trying to avoid a suspension, declare themselves ineligible on their own, hire an agent and decide, 'I'm going to enter into the NFL.'

It's not just the NFL. Every other league has a draft. It has been fundamental to the success of professional sports.

I spent a lot of time in the school psychologist's office. I didn't apply myself. My mother thought I had learning disabilities.

We're in a leadership position in sports. People look up to the National Football League.

As I go through life, I can see why my mother directed me that way, or why my father counseled me in that way. But some things you're open to when you're young, and some things you need to find out for yourself. I think that that's pretty universal.

I never get recognized. Most of the time, when people think they know me, they believe I'm a member of their family. And that's the way I like it. That's just fine.

I kind of adopt family friends and take people in.

Great numbers of Asian Americans do not fit the model minority or 'tiger family' stereotypes, living instead in multigenerational poverty far from the mainstream.
