I'm looking forward to making a Super Bowl run in Atlanta every year.
I don't care if it's politics, religion or football. I believe you have to keep opening your mind. And shut your mouth sometimes!
Tight end is one of the hardest positions to play in football. It's right up there with quarterback and cornerback. You have to have the skills of a wide receiver and the strength of an offensive lineman, and it's not easy to balance those two.
Given a full summer to practice basketball, and especially my jump shot, I know that I could play in the NBA and do well.
I don't like second place; I'm out there trying to win everything.
I'm hungry. I want the ball. That's the feeling you want. When you get that feeling, you can't be stopped.
I was awful at football when I was a little kid. I didn't have the aggressiveness. I was just a nice kid. I didn't want to hurt anyone.
Football comes naturally to me, but basketball is a challenge, that's why I like it so much.
I'd rather just stay quiet and play the game. Winning is hard enough as it is.
