“You have to go through things in life in order to mature.”
“I still feel like I have to go out there and get my job done and still produce. It's not about proving, it's about progressing and just getting better.”
“I know what I can do as far as big plays and explosiveness, and I know what that does to other guys. It just sparks energy.”
“Growing up we didn't really have a team but now for the Rams to be back in Los Angeles, it's great. For me, it's special, definitely.”
“Everyone has to have one common goal, and at the end of the day that is to win the game.”
“A lot of people didn't really think I'd make it until the draft. The people that hate, that's a part of it. It makes me go out there and prove everybody wrong. I don't really get caught up in what they say.”
“I haven't gotten in any trouble off the field.”
“I know the type of player I am so I don't feel there's too many people in the NFL that could really do what I'm capable of doing when the ball's in my hands.”
“I just looked at it like I can make it to the NFL a little faster than if I had went to MLB.”
“Off the field, all my training is speed and quickness. The agility work, the cones, training with my track coach and keeping my speed.”
“Have I always been perfect? Have I always done things the right way? No. Have I learned and found a better way of doing things? Yes.”
“My first year being a rookie, we actually made it to the NFC Conference Championship Game.”
“I obviously would love to play with a great, great, great quarterback.”
“It's a brotherhood coming from the intercity of Los Angeles.”
“I don't live my life and go out there really worrying about what people say.”
“That's why he's Drew Rosenhaus. He gets paid to do what he needs to do. And that's why in my eyes he's one of the best.”
“Whatever play's called I just go out there and do my best.”
“I remember when I was a rookie, Jerry Rice, I worked out with him, and he always told me, 'You take less hits, you can play a longer time.'”
“I'm a patient guy.”
“A lot of people get upset by any protest - people taking a knee during the national anthem or raising a fist. As if we're being disrespectful. Or rude to the national anthem or to our soldiers, you know what I'm saying? It's deeper than that.”
