“I think I'm a very versatile player, that's how I was at LSU.”

“You know you can't satisfy anybody.”

“You'd like to think we're past certain things, the way we treat people. I thought we were at a time where you love your neighbor as yourself. But as I've studied history - it hasn't repeated itself necessarily, but it's dressed a little different and is acting the same.”

“My mother served in the Armed Forces.”

“I majored in business at LSU before I left.”

“We've got to keep fighting. Got to keep agitating. Got to keep making sure that we put pressure on the people who make the laws, and the decisions, in this country.”

“I believe that there are issues in this country - many issues, too many to name. It's not one particular issue. But there are people out there that feel there are injustices being made and happening in our country on a daily basis.”

“It's not easy to do the unpopular thing.”

“It has always been my understanding that the brave men and women who fought and died for our country did so to ensure that we could live in a fair and free society, which includes the right to speak out in protest.”

“Ever since the eighth grade, I can honestly say I cut out carbonated drinks from my diet and started focusing on hydrating my body well. It's a message that needs to get out, especially in the south.”

“I pride myself on being able to get the guys lined up on the team, and being a great teammate and also doing my job.”

“It's nice to get comfortable with the plays before the season starts.”

“I've just always done what I've felt is best, according to what the Bible tells me. That's why I started protesting, and that's what I continue to do every day.”

“I will keep speaking for my people.”

“In the stands, I've always heard the people yelling. When I'm in the community, when I get approached, I can honestly say I've not had anybody say stop kneeling in public. It's all been supportive.”

“I try to look at myself to get better as a player.”

“I expect to work hard, earn the respect of my teammates and hopefully I can start.”

“I've had concussions, and I'm still here. I still love the sport.”

“At the end of the day, you're just another person in society. It doesn't matter how much fame you have. It doesn't matter how much money you have.”

“I'm not going to change the way I play.”
