I found out that changing the perception of myself and the NFL, and reestablishing the notion of being a gentleman was important to me.
Because CoEd's doing incredible work in Guatemala so how can I not #tieoneon?
Travel around the world is amazing. New people. New-found family, really.
I want everybody to travel, to travel and not be afraid.
I watch reality TV , but unless you have been part of that crew, unless you've sort of been immersed in that culture in what's happening, unless you have been in that concentrated moment, you wont believe it unless you're there. And with 'Ton of Cash' we just hope that we captured all of the best moments.
For my birthday, I would ask for a ticket from my mother. Just buy me a ticket to said country and I'll just find my way through. And that's what I always did. I never changed too much of that.
Football is one side of me. Art is another. Travel is another.
When it all boils down, its about embracing each others stories and maybe even finding that synergy to collaborate for the common good.
Without creation, what are we but stalled in life?
Doing things out of the ordinary - out of the box - like jumping out of airplanes and landing in cities that you've never been to before, then finding your way through. That's the type of trip that excites me.
I like a basic uniform for guys. Steve Jobs is my fashion icon, because he wears the same outfit every day. If you always wear the same thing, you make a statement. Then put a bow tie on and really stand out.
when I was younger I used to wrestle, and I feel that it contributed to my athletic ability because as a wrestler you have to be an all-encompassed athlete. You need stamina, strength, endurance and mental capacity. You also have to learn how to adapt in any situation. In the book, that's how all the sports helped me in my strategies for football and life.
People look at you differently if you wear a bow tie, as opposed to a necktie.
We all have personalities, but in football a lot of times you don't talk about that because you want to focus more on the grit and grind of the season, instead of people's personal styles or worldly habits.
