We're very different football players. We play different positions. The defense calls us to do different things as well.
Some of us might not understand why LeBron James is the way he is, but fortunately he found his great craft in life.
God has control over everything, and obviously, everything to everyone is god-given.
A demon, in a way, is a test of your faith. Because if you're doing God's work, there's no reason for any demon to do anything to you.
When I'm done playing football, I just might be the couch potato dad.
I don't think I have a split personality. I believe the same person I am on the field is the same person I am at home - passionate about everything I do, whether it's reading a Bible or just hanging out with my wife.
I always try to sacrifice my body for the team.
Any time you can squeeze out the opportunity to get better, you should.
I love the atmosphere football brings; I love being around my teammates; I love the struggle in football. I love the fact that it is a part of my life. I don't look at it as any more important or less important as any other part of my life.
My hair has become part of my identity; it's almost an appendage to me.
I've never been a fan of individual awards because football is such a team sport. There's so many things that goes into making plays. It's about teammates trusting one another and working together.
A big hit is all part of the game. If you want to make a lot of big hits, you forget about the one you just made and move onto the next one.
I have developed a Samoan mentality. You have to be a gentleman everywhere but on the field.
There's so much that I like about Pittsburgh, actually. The cultural district and museums are wonderful, and I encourage everyone to check them out. And the food is excellent, too!
