Colton Underwood

Coming into 'The Bachelorette,' I always led with a calculated mind and not an open heart. ”

I want to have some fun with my kids growing up. ”

My mental health is something that I've been focusing on my whole entire football career. It's a normal thing. ”

Throughout my football career, I've always been somebody who's been very aware, and I know when the camera is on me, and I know how to be polished. I can see how that might come off as disingenuous. ”

Ever since I was a little boy, I had my eyes set on being able to say I was a professional athlete. I worked hard every day to make sure that it became a possibility and sacrificed a lot for the game of football. ”

My mom had me when she was 24, so I want to be a young, cool dad. ”

I obviously have a very strong love for dogs. ”

I always told myself I was more than a football player, so every off season, I pushed myself to go outside the box and get a little bit better off the field. I dabbled in many business adventures to gain more real world experience. ”

I have a lot of love for a lot of things in my life. ”

I want to find a wife. I want to find somebody who I'm going to spend the rest of my life with. ”
