A Quote by Chauncey Billups

I played football first. I love football. I'm a die-hard Broncos fan. I loved football, but in the offseason, I started playing basketball, and I just fell in love with the game. I've been playing basketball ever since 5th grade.

I didn't do any football stuff when I was a kid... Mostly baseball and basketball the whole time. That's all I did. I played football starting in seventh grade. As I got older, I started playing a little bit more. Then in high school, I really fell in love with it.

Patrick Mahomes

I'm just god-gifted: I have a talent. Even when I played basketball, no one ever taught me the game. I just played it. And with football, I just converted basketball to football and just played.

Jason Pierre-Paul

I wanted to be a football player. Football is a sport that I love, but the more I started playing basketball, the more I started dreaming of playing in the NBA.

Dwyane Wade

I just love sports: basketball, baseball, football. As a kid I did it all. But in my heart, I'm a football player. There's nothing like it. It's what I live for. Ever since I could walk, I've been drawn to it.

Kyler Murray

I've played football since I was seven - but loved basketball. Cire, who is one of six brothers, always played in the top two divisions in France. At the age of 15, I started having football trials. And, when I compared myself to other players, I thought, 'why them and not me?'

Demba Ba

Since I first started playing basketball, I have just loved it, and nothing has ever made me lose that love.

Ashley Graham

I have always been in love with football. As a child, I started playing football.

Fabio Capello

Trip Hawkins - and this was the early 1980s - was saying there's going to be a day when everyone has a computer and they're going to want to do more on it, including playing games. So he started up a company, EA Sports, and he was going to have three games, football, basketball and baseball. So I was the football game.

John Madden

I've played this game since I was in second grade, and there's nothing more important to me than playing football.

Austin Seferian-Jenkins

When I started playing basketball, I hated it because football had always been my sport.

Luol Deng

I love football. My weekends are booked. Saturday college games and Sunday NFL and 'Monday Night Football.' Booked! Football is first, then basketball and then everything else.

Jordin Sparks

I've just been playing football for a long time. I've been playing football since I was a little kid, so it's just some natural blessings that God has blessed me with to get to the ball and understand what I've been doing over the years.

Ed Reed

I've played so many games of football now, and even though it is at a higher level, at the end of the day, football is football. You are just playing with better players.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain

I was pretty much seen as a basketball player coming out of high school. Football was my second love, but luckily, I turned out to be pretty good. Something just drew me to football; besides, I ended up being too short for my position in basketball.

Justin Tuck

I've been engulfed in sports since I was a 2-year-old; I picked up any kind of ball - a basketball, baseball, football - I just loved to play something. I loved the energy of being in arenas and watching the game on TV.
