We needed a victory bad, ... We needed to get back to even so we could feel good about ourselves and the direction we were going. It just happened to be the Super Bowl champs and their 21-game home winning streak on the line.
A lot of people may know my face and know that I'm a good player on the football field, but they probably don't really know me as a person.
I don't think Christ becomes real to us until we hit a low point in our lives and realize just how much we need Him. That's why faith affects every area of your life.
The quicker you get acclimated to getting hit and being on the ground, it's better for you when the games start.
Over the years as I went through a lot more things, I've gotten closer and closer to God as far as praying a lot more, being into the Word.
I like to run fast but not drive.
Faith is the biggest principle that the Bible teaches us.
Sometimes when you're praised about something, sometimes it's deserved, and sometimes it's not deserved. Same thing with criticism. Sometimes the criticism is deserved, and sometimes it's not deserved.
People may remember something I did on the field for a couple of days, maybe a week.
People always say, and my family has said it to me, that you know who your real friends are when you're at your lowest point and you don't have a job or whatever.
I make sure I always give Him all the glory and praise, because I know that in one second, one game, one play, it could be all over.
They played real good defense. They got to Drew and really controlled the line of scrimmage,
There's been a lot of situations that it's been right for me to be able to score. It kind of worked out for me,
It's tough to even think of Drew not being here. I guess my mind hasn't really grasped that possibility.
