“The difference between a mob and a movement is follow-through.”

“I care about what's best for everyone around me.”

“It's easy in this world, in this business, to get caught up and get jealous of people.”

“I read a lot. I try to gain as much knowledge as I possibly can and listen to people, because I don't know what I don't know.”

“My father's a police officer, and he's told me numerous times about his training and how they've gone through what they call verbal judo, which is essentially them trying to de-escalate the situation.”

“As a competitor, I try to do everything in my power to control the uncontrollable.”

“Instincts are learned on the football field through experience. It's vital in sports because things happen so rapidly that you have to rely on your instincts at times to make quick decisions.”

“I give a lot of credit to Darrell Bevell and to Tom Cable for their work and their development of the players that they had that was available to them. They did an extraordinary job, and I do think, as Bevell was our offensive coordinator, we broke every record that the Seahawks had offensively. So there's a lot to be said for that.”

“I would say I had anger-management issues, to be honest with you. But it was only on the football field.”

“We have to enforce training that is more emphasized on de-escalation tactics and crisis management control. Once we do that, then we have to put measures in place to reward the officers who are the good officers, which is the majority of them. Then we have to hold accountable the officers that are not abiding by the policies and those laws.”

“I feel like I am a better person because of my struggles, because of my challenges and persevering through them and realizing the mistakes that I've made, correcting them.”

“I knew police officers have a very difficult job. They have to make split second decisions that will impact not only the communities they serve but their families, their own personal lives.”

“I appreciate the fans who come out here, and they support us, but it's football. We're not saving lives. We're not police officers. We're not doctors. We're football players, first and foremost. If you want to stop watching the game because a guy feels strongly about a very serious topic that's going on in our society, then that's your choice.”

“I've been blessed enough to be on a great team, gone to the divisional round five years in a row or whatever it was. That's special. Not everybody gets an opportunity to do that.”

“The route may, say, go across the field for 22 yards. I know I have to be there, but how I get there is where they allow me to be creative.”

“Honestly, I don't believe in luck.”

“If you want to get anything done, you have to start somewhere.”

“I watched a lot of Jerry Rice's film just to learn how to run routes, but it was so difficult to imitate him, and he didn't play with the same body language that I wanted to play with.”

“If you take a step back and you look at the overall picture, there's a lot of teams in this league that could use a quarterback of Colin Kaepernick's ability.”

“The NFL cares about one thing, and that's the NFL. That's the bottom line.”
