“It's always an emotional blow when you lose any guy, let alone a guy like Le'Veon Bell.”

“Back in the States, women play flag football, but they have the same opportunities as the guys do.”

“You'd be amazed how much attention $1 million will get you.”

“I did start out quiet, and I found out you can change a person's life by simply saying, 'Hey,' or, 'How was your day?' Not everybody gets that opportunity with the way society views you or how you look or the way you dress or how you interact. You hear the weird cliches: socially awkward. I think we're all socially awkward.”

“Pink is not a color - it's a culture to me.”

“I'm a Nickelback guy.”

“Every veteran out there, veteran or rookie, they want to go to the Super Bowl and win it and get the best opportunity.”

“I'm aware that if the ball is thrown in my direction, I'm expected to catch it because the media is going to be on my back.”

“You go to a couple of teams, and some guys have never been to a playoff game.”

“I take pride in knowing the NFL is pink in October, sparking conversations everywhere about breast cancer and prevention, all in the spirit of my mom.”

“The University of Memphis didn't have the flashy profile or the national exposure. It's a great university. I love the offense. I love the atmosphere, the big city. They have everything I want. The only knock against them is they are not a great team.”
