I never thought my choice to leave the NFL would lead to 'Face the Nation.' When I first thought of quitting, I cringed at the notion of becoming a football safety advocate. I was making a personal decision; I never set out to influence others.

Chris Borland

Ever since I was growing up, I knew I was going to play in the NFL. I never thought anything else.

Austin Seferian-Jenkins

I have a little easier time watching the NFL than college or high school. I used to go to the high school games, and now I have trouble with it. The NFL players get big rewards from it. I feel at least the NFL has made big changes to help their safety. And they're adults - they can make good decisions.

Ann McKee

I was never on a mission to be an NFL quarterback. I wanted to be a good high school player, and I worked hard at that. That made me good enough to play in college and then I wanted to be a good college quarterback. During college I played well enough to make it into the NFL. I never took it for granted and really wanted to play hard at each level and I have always had a lot of fun doing what I wanted to do.

Peyton Manning

This is totally unexpected. I thought I'd be in the NBA or the NFL. I never thought baseball. It's kind of like a surprise. I'm happy it happened.

Carl Crawford

I could've easily gone the other way, but luckily, I had football and the dream to play in the NFL so I could do something positive with my life.

Frank Gore

Whether it's one play in the NFL or 1,000 plays in the NFL, your pads will come off eventually.

Myron Rolle

I never, ever dreamed that I'd play in the NFL.

Eric Weddle

There's not a single NFL writer in the country who could diagram a play for Bill Belichick.

Colin Cowherd

I could never have thought, "I wanna play a two-headed woman." That just never would have occurred to me, in a million years.

Sarah Paulson

I can be in the NFL as long as any other back. I went late in the draft because no one thought I could do it.

Brandon Jacobs

The way to stay popular as a quarterback in the NFL is never to play.

Cliff Stoudt

It's unbelievable. I never thought I could play for United 200 times.

Park Ji-sung

People thought it was asinine for me to change my swing after I won the Masters by 12 shots. ... Why would you want to change that? Well, I thought I could become better. If I play my best, I'm pretty tough to beat. I'd like to play my best more frequently, and that's the whole idea. That's why you make changes. I thought I could become more consistent.
