With three boys in the house, my mother was always on us when growing up about keeping our faces clean, washing behind our ears, and brushing our teeth. So I still take my morning routine seriously.
I'm not going to entertain something that took place not three months, not six months, not a year but two years ago. I'm not going to sit up here and say anything about it, whether I did or did not do it, because I don't want to beat a dead horse talking about it. It's not going to affect me any way, shape or fashion.
The way I represent my individuality is by mixing classic pieces - like sports jackets - with little, unexpected additions.
I always keep my eye focused on what I would and want to wear.
Good shoes - they're the ultimate finishing touch. In fact, we actually joke in my family that your shoes have to be shined before you can leave the house.
I keep my eyes open. I pay attention to how different types of people express their personal style, how they put their clothes together.
I don't want to be the center of attention, which is ironic. I hate having all eyes on me - unless it's for my job, and my job is playing football. I'm not that attention-hungry.
This is what makes sports so amazing, that we can start a discussion around a table, in the newspaper, in the magazines, that will get people's attention. And that's what sports does.
Some people have certain beliefs, and I have my own belief, and we can agree to disagree on certain things.
My place of refuge is definitely watching movies and playing video games.
I did nothing wrongEverything I've done at this university I did the right way.
In college, you had to worry about that math class or this exam that's coming up on Tuesday, but not in the professionals. You eat, sleep, and do everything related to your craft - and your craft is football. You can be at it from sunup to sundown.
I just like having fun with my style and keeping it new.
I see myself not only as a football player, but an entertainer and icon.
