A. J. Green

“Growing up in Ridgeville, South Carolina, pretty much all I saw was people working hard.”

“I wanted to be great, that's from day one.”

“I put a lot into my body on and off the field that really gets me ready for the next day.”

“My goal when I got drafted was to always stay in one place the whole time. No matter what the situation was.”

“That's the ultimate goal is to win the championship.”

“When the game is on the line, I want to be the go-to guy. I feel like that separates the good from the great receivers.”

“With a lot of bigger corners, you can get an advantage on them by exploiting their agility. For example, you can run a lot of double moves where you get way down in your breaks. You can try to make the game more about the stop-and-start.”

“I usually go out there and play relaxed and play free and usually let the game come to me.”

“My game is not always built off speed, it's just my craft to where I can run routes and get in-and-out of my breaks as a big guy keeps me at a consistent level for a long time.”

“I think what pushes me every day is that I'm so afraid to fail. I think it comes from what I went through in school growing up and not being great in the classroom and having to work harder than everybody else.”

“I like big challenges. They bring my game to a different level.”

“You want to leave a legacy.”

“I am not here to get in an arguing match and fight on the field.”

“As an athlete, our platform is so high. A lot of people look up to us. So if they see us doing something positive, it can change the world.”

“A trade's not going to change who I am. I'm still going to play. I'm still going to be A.J.”

“I think the best cover corner I've faced is Patrick Peterson. He's been great so long that people really overlook him.”

“I'm always talking to people and they're always telling me bad times never last so long. Good people last longer.”

“I just try to go about my business, love the game, prepare every week and play football.”

“I feel like I'm more of a slim guy.”
