Football is brutality. Football is career-ending, life-threatening injury just by stepping on the field.
I made it to the NFL and I had an injury, a really bad injury, actually, where I was out for 18 months in football. And the doctor said it was career-ending.
If you get a career-threatening injury your career is done and you need something to fall back on. But if it wasn't for football I would have played rugby, if it wasn't rugby it would have been basketball and I would have just gone through all the sports.
Oftentimes, even myself as I've come through my entire career from high school all the way up here, everything has been football, football, football. And then you realize that life is much bigger than this game, especially when you start thinking about life after football and what you want to leave behind.
Away from football, life is not just football. People do not see it how life goes on for us off the field.
I don't judge my self-worth as a football player. Football is something I love. It's a fun career deal, but it's not what I want to do with my life, because I see football as a game.
Especially in this business of football you got to get on your knees multiple times a day, just thanking God. I pray while I'm on the field because He has to be with me. One injury away from being done from playing football for the rest of my life or just that fast it can happen. So I just always got to pray for that covering. Make sure He's with me out there making plays with me. God wants to be involved in everything that you do. And I just try to involve Him. And that's what God said to do, to help build up His kingdom.
My whole life has always been football and that only. Since I was six years old, I've only really thought about football. I used to watch it on TV, play video games, and so on. I just love football. Some people joke that I am too into it, but football just sums up my life.
Some people have this impression of me: 'Boy, he's always so serious on the field. Football. Football. Football.
Some people have this impression of me: 'Boy, he's always so serious on the field. Football. Football. Football.'
I'm glad that I just played baseball, because I'm sure I had a much longer baseball career than I would've had a football career. I did miss football, but I didn't miss some of the injuries from football.
At a Texas college, a football field that was turned into a farm. The Tigers of Paul Quinn College lost more football games than they won on this field. So, years ago, when the historically black college on the South Side of Dallas was in financial crisis and had a 1 percent graduation rate, a new president turned everything over, including the football field.
Really, I learned a long time ago that in the National Football League, paper doesn't mean anything. Football teams are created on the football field.
For what my generation did and went through and so forth, and what these glamour boys earn for what little they play, it's a joke. Is it football? Are you guys football players? Is that what they call football? It's not iron-man football, where you stay on the field for 60 minutes. Everybody! We were iron men. Not a bunch of pussyfoots.
Halas used to tell his players that football is what you make of it. It should not be what defines you, but football should be a stepping stone for what you achieve in the rest of your life.
I love playing football, and I'm pretty aggressive on the field. I'm a different person on the football field.
It was the toughest phase of my life. I suffered almost a career-ending injury. Getting through the first phase of my injury was tough.
