I think every kid who wants to play in the NFL has a dream of hoisting that Lombardi. It's what we all strive for, and it's the end goal for every team.
Whether it's one play in the NFL or 1,000 plays in the NFL, your pads will come off eventually.
Obviously, I couldn't imagine that my career would go so well. When I first started, I wanted to play out of goal. But there was no goalkeeper, and the coach put me in goal.
One day my dad would say, 'OK, if you want to play tennis I can help you out.' And that's how it started. And I had a goal. I wanted to beat my mom first. And my parents and my brother. And that was the ultimate goal.

Every team in the NFL is hard, but when we play our own division it's a fight. Our goal is to make it to the playoffs and to do that we have to win games within the division. We match up well against this division, it's just a matter of getting on the field and doing what we know we can do.
I did nothing at the behest of the NFL, for the NFL, against the NFL.
In the NFL, you have a short shelf life. As a running back, if you're the first pick, and you're NFL life expectancy is only 3.5-6 years, your first big contract might not come until three years in - well, you might never get there. They need to get those signing bonuses up front because nothing is guaranteed.
Going to that level, a lot of guys get to the NFL, and they don't make a long career out of it. The NFL is very hard. One percent of college athletes make it to the NFL.
I have ambitions to play for the first team. Of course, that is the ultimate goal.
When you come to a new club you always want to score, and the first goal is special. It doesn't matter how the goal is scored, but important is the goal's worth.
I love the NFL. Everything that I really have is because of the NFL... but every idea that the NFL pitched is not a great idea.
