“It makes you hungry every time you see another team celebrate a championship.”

“During a game, sometimes you don't know how much you've scored.”

“I just want to play ball - and I want to do it wearing a silver-and-black jersey.”

“I listen to the people that know the position. People that coach me. People that I always seek advice from.”

“I'll never forget when we won that game my rookie year versus Kansas City. We won one game, we were 1-10, and to sit there and watch everybody celebrate, there's nothing like it. I just sat there and enjoyed it.”

“Patrick Peterson, obviously, is one of - it depends who you talk to - is the best, or one of the best, corners/return guys in the NFL. You just turn the film on and you're like, 'Wow, that guy plays corner? He looks like a linebacker and runs a 4.1' or whatever. He's a great player.”

“Every year, I find things where I can go harder into and things like that.”

“When you're losing, crap happens.”

“My brother told me when I came in the NFL, if they cut Peyton Manning, they're going to cut you someday too. That's always a realization for anybody in our livelihood.”

“When I put my helmet on, I'm ultra competitive, talking trash.”

“Faith, family and then football. Those are my priorities now.”

“Everything can look good in theory and in practice it all falls apart.”

“I just want to be someone who loves his family more than he loves to drink.”

“I don't care what stadium we play in.”

“We don't want to be paper champs.”

“I've broken a lot of things. I've torn a lot of muscles. I've torn a lot of ligaments.”

“The best thing that you can do is show up every day and give it everything that you have, because anything outside of that is out of your control.”

“When I got to college, my coach let me handle everything, from calling the plays to changing protections to checking in the run game. He let me do absolutely everything at the line.”

“If we win every game, that's all I care about.”

“I have two big brothers.”
