“Obviously, ESPN, that Monday Night gig is a big deal. You don't just easily dismiss that.”
“At the end of the day, no one has won more games than Russell Wilson and the Seattle Seahawks to start a guy's career, right. So success there has also made them a little, you know, it's almost spoiled them a little bit.”
“It's very common business for players and management to go back and forth and try to find common ground.”
“You can only gain the real intricacies of playing by playing. You can study the playbook all you want and you can ask as many questions, but until you're out there out of the field doing it, that's the only way is to mess it up, or do it right and cement and then learn from it.”
“We can't make or break our whole season on the first game.”
“The thing about the NFL is nobody cares. Nobody feels bad for you. Nobody feels sorry for you... They don't care if you're hurt. They don't care if you don't feel good. You have a bad call. Play goes against you? No one cares. You've got to play. You've got to win.”
“My approach every game really tries to stay the same. I try not to make it about me. I try not to make it about my personal vendettas.”
“No one ever gets to write their ending, write their final script.”
“From the strength involved, the jumping, to body positioning and control, there are similarities. Playing basketball at a pretty good high school level, in a state where there were strong programs, definitely helped make me a better tight end.”
“If you ask every team, they want to win every game, obviously.”
“I think everybody thinks I'm a little crazy.”
“There are certain memories and specific days that you can never get out of your head no matter how hard you try. I'm talking about everything, including the feelings you had at the time.”
“I could turn Russell Westbrook into an All-Pro free safety.”
“I played a lot of games with this body, so I'll take it.”
“To be in complete control of the game in the fourth-quarter and just self-destruct, it's tough.”
“It's hard to run the ball with 8-9 guys in the box.”
“I wear a composite non-stick glove.”
“I'm not usually a beard guy.”
“When you throw your fourth touchdown of a game in the NFL... it's hard to do.”
“I take a lot of pride in impacting the game with or without the ball. That's something that only a few guys in the league can do that.”
