I'm not the prototype wide receiver. But I like to think I'm one hell of a football player.
I'm a football player. I believe I'm just as tough as anybody else. I try not to play like a wide receiver.
In eighth grade, I was actually better in football. I played running back, wide receiver, and safety - just like Allen Iverson.
I think the modern-day wide receiver, I would say that his skill level is not appreciated. It's not just about the numbers. It's the ability to catch the football and put your talent on display.
I pray that Jimmy Graham passes as a wide receiver. Because at the end of the day, if he passes as a wide receiver, that's better for the rest of the tight ends. He will have opened up a door, a pathway for the rest of the group.
I was a ball guy. I played basketball, baseball, football. I excelled in football the most. I played running back, wide receiver, safety, kick returner, punt returner.
I have a big problem with scouts. There's a standard for a receiver-you have to have a certain size, run a certain speed, and what not. I disagree with that. You can have a lot of heart, a lot of passion for the game, and be a great receiver. Everyone's looking for that prototype guy, and it shouldn't be that way.
It was fun, having speed and being able to jump. Especially playing football. I played wide receiver and defensive back.
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.
If you think I'm a loser, that I'm a bust, that's fine, but you don't know me. I don't have a problem with people thinking I was a bad football player. I wasn't a particularly good pro football player. But I was a great college player, and that's something.
One of the best things if you are a football player is to see the faces of the kids, when they see you and are dreaming of being like you one day. That's a big responsibility, to be a good image for those kids. A football player is more than just a football player.
I think I'm the best wide receiver in the NFL.
Tight end is one of the hardest positions to play in football. It's right up there with quarterback and cornerback. You have to have the skills of a wide receiver and the strength of an offensive lineman, and it's not easy to balance those two.
Every single year is a year for me to take a look at how I've grown and how I can get better and better myself as a football player as a receiver and just as an overall team player.
As a wide receiver, you don't want to feel that the quarterback is only going to throw you the ball if you're wide open.
I got hands just like a wide receiver.
Once you're a football player, you're a football player for life. You always think of yourself in terms of that. We all do. It's hard to get rid of when you can't play anymore.
