“Michael Irvin, he's definitely a legend, but I don't know if some of the guys my age and younger really know about him.”

“I don't want to prove the Raiders wrong. I just want to prove the Cowboys right. They traded for me, and I'm going to be a good player for them.”

“The plantar fasciitis that I had before it really kinda bothered me when I directly cut on the foot.”

“Just keep being me, just keep doing me, stay true to who I am and the ball will find me.”

“I don't think you have to be flamboyant to be a great player.”

“I wasn't really happy in Oakland or anything like that.”

“You never want to put yourself in that position where you don't control your own destiny.”

“I mean, I don't really remember playing a full season ever being 100 percent.”

“Obviously, when you drop a ball early in the game, it could be worse. You can go on to drop many more balls or stuff like that.”

“Really, you don't want to think about yards after the catch when the ball is in the air. You want to think about catching the ball. And then let the rest play its way out.”

“I like to be moved around a lot because the defense can never know or expect me to be in just one place. They can't really key on me. I can be freed up.”

“Anytime I can get into a situation in which I'm running routes, I love it. I mean, I'd go out in the streets and just run some routes.”

“I just try to work on my craft. Try to be as complete a player as possible, and I've just been focusing on being a consistent player.”

“I played with a lot of foot injuries.”

“A lot of guys go through ups and downs in their careers, and sometimes those downs are like horrific and they can really change you. A lot. And so when you go out there and do something like score a touchdown and have a good game, you appreciate it so much more when you've been through those valleys in life.”

“When you do something, you want to be the best.”

“I've been hurt every year I played football.”

“I've always kept in mind, team first.”

“You can only get open in two ways, off of the line or out of your breaks.”

“We would always rush to do our homework because after work, we knew that it was football.”
