“It's football. You take weird hits. That's what you prepare for in the offseason so your body can take all those weird hits and you can get right back up.”
“It's football. I get hit all the time. That's what you sign up for when you play the game.”
“When you're running for four yards a carry and you're rushing 47 times, you don't really need to throw the ball.”
“The fact that I got to meet The Rock was pretty special.”
“My dad at an early age told me football is easier when you have fun. I figured out that it was so that's what I tried to do. Just enjoy myself and the rest will take care of itself.”
“My rookie year, I was terrified of Joe Staley.”
“I think TE is the most unique and diverse position. It's the most fun position because it's the only one on the field where you get to do everything that a football player does. You run block, you pass pro, you get to run routes and catch the football. We do everything!”
“If you put in the dirty work, if you do what you're asked on every single play whether it's pass or run, the rest for us takes care of itself.”
“I didn't really play a lot in college my first three years; that was 100 percent my fault. I wasn't really 100 percent all-in on football.”
“It makes you feel good, doing the right thing and getting in the end zone.”
“I can't miss those workout days, man.”
“Watching the Niners play on TV is not really fun when I should be on the field with them.”
“When you pancake a guy, and you feel their breath exhale, to me that's their soul leaving their body.”
“If I don't have shoulder pads, I don't feel I can protect myself, whether it's my shoulders or my teammates.”
“My best thing I grill is a bacon wrapped filet with garlic butter. That's my go-to. My wife likes it. I like it. It's easy.”
“Someone like coach Belichick, with the success that he's had and sustained it for so long. He's obviously seen a lot of good football players.”
“Garlic butter sounds fancy. It's not that fancy, but it tastes incredible. So I'm big on that.”
“If a guy is going to not throw his body at me and he looks like he's just going to sit there with his chest open, I'm going to put my helmet through his chest. That's his fault if he's sore in the morning.”
“It is fun to work with different products and companies, as long as I'm working with products I use in my day-to-day life.”
“It's really fun for me to go do things that maybe people don't think I can do.”
