“I don't have a chip on my shoulder. I have a boulder on my shoulder.”

“I've got a chip on my shoulder, and honestly, I've always had it, but I don't think about it in those terms, like I'm trying to be better than this guy or that guy. It just helps keep me focused.”

“I'm still conscious of whether people really accept me, but that insecurity makes me stronger.”

“I didn't have a lot of good film coming out of college. Also, my height didn't help me at all. I ran a decent 40, but no one would call it blazing speed.”

“I support Kam Chancellor as a person.”

“Here in Washington State, I've supported efforts to provide our law enforcement with the proper training and resources required to meet their changing and demanding needs of their job. In doing so, I feel that the community and the law enforcement relationship will gratefully benefit from a renewed sense of responsibility and accountability.”

“I've heard all my life how I'm too short or not big enough to play this game. It's nothing new.”

“As we've grown as a country, we've allowed our fears and our doubts and our questions about things that we don't know to become more divisive than uniting us as a country, as a people.”

“Honestly, I think the combine is a waste of time. The effort should be in film watching, physicals, and mental evaluations.”

“I'm on the record as saying Andrew Luck can be the greatest quarterback who ever played the game of football. I've seen him do some unbelievable things that I still can't believe a quarterback was able to do. I have tremendous respect for that guy.”

“If you can play football, you can play football. Measurables at the combine don't change that.”

“Not that I don't care about winning or I don't care about doing well, but I have to care less about the things that happen that are outside of my control.”

“I think you have to have a bit of an anger-management issue, to be honest with you. Usually, slot guys are a lot smaller and quicker, but at the same time, you have to go in there and block linebackers and safeties, and so you have to be aggressive.”

“It's been my desire to support efforts to aim at healing the relationship between law enforcement and the community.”

“The reason why I play 'Madden' is because in 'Madden,' I can control everything, and in the game of life and the game of football, you can't. It's kind of like an outlet.”

“There aren't enough people who are passionate with what they do. They're content just going through life being mediocre, being average. They don't want to thrive. They don't want to strive for greater. They're happy being where they are.”

“If there are cracks in your armor, your opponent is going to find them.”

“The greatest tragedy for any human being is going through their entire lives believing the only perspective that matters is their own.”

“Before I became a leader, I thought success was all about building myself up. But then, once I became a leader, I realized that success is about building others up.”

“It's not going to matter, but there's a part of me, a human part of me, that wants to be 60 years old, watching a Seahawks game, and they're talking about the days back when I was playing. I want to be able to feel that. I want to know what that feels like.”
