The tight end position is incredibly diverse.
I feel like the tight end position hasn't been appreciated.
When I went to the Pro Bowl, I went as a tight end. When I made the All Pro team, I made it as a tight end. When they introduced us and I ran out of the tunnel, they introduced me as a tight end. So how is that possible that now that my career is over, they say, 'Well, he put up stats like a wide receiver?' It's not my fault I was ahead of my time.
I don't get wrapped up in catches and fantasy football. It's not the way I view the tight end position.
I think the tight end position is so unique because you always have a mismatch if you know how to dial it up or use it right.
At the tight end position, you're asked to do so many things. You'll see me split out wide singled up like a wide receiver.
Like most tight ends I was a pass-receiving tight end coming into the league.
Tight ends, third down, and the red zone is where you kind of need to stand out to be a very good tight end in this league.
I think Tony Gonzalez always set the standard. He was the guy that, I think for all of us, when I came in that was really kinda taking this league over as the tight end position. I think Shannon Sharpe was another one.
When one tight end succeeds, everybody succeeds - like the tight ends were making under $10 million a year. To me that doesn't make any sense.
I feel like my work has been incredibly diverse.
If you ever are fortunate enough to experience an open field in front of you as a tight end - and honestly, that's something not many guys at this position ever get to experience in the NFL - the one thing that you know for certain is that there are people faster than you who are right behind you and want you to fumble the ball.
We made a commitment to making diverse stories with diverse characters brought to life by diverse artists.
Clint Eastwood just runs an incredibly tight ship, but it's really laid back.
The best innovation comes from inclusive work environments that foster diverse ideas, nurture people with diverse talent and backgrounds, and create strong relationships with diverse communities.
Where you're running out of time, you have these brainwave moments. It's allowing the space to have them, even in an incredibly tight situation.
I also think I was incredibly immature and inexperienced. I had little idea how to navigate the many network politics so allies became enemies and those responsible for helping and mentoring me to succeed in my new position had other agendas. At the end of the day I was young and dumb but super talented.
