“The reality is, player-fan interaction for the 2020 season is going to be very minimal. Something as simple as charity events guys do year-in-and-year out, probably won't be able to happen.”
“Whether you're in year one or you're in year 12, every day you've got to show up with a willingness to compete and to prove that you belong there and a willingness to get better and listen to coaching.”
“I didn't think I'd be playing football at 31 so it's a blessing just to be able to come out here and compete.”

“That's the reason we play this game - to make it to the tournament, and to try to win games once you get in it.”
“I've probably exceeded every expectation I had for myself, going into my rookie year of what my NFL career would be.”
“Everyone in the NFL is an NFL player.”
“That's honestly one of the blessings of having a twin who shares your interests. You kind of get this mirror view of what you're capable of.”
“Obviously with social media, everybody has an opinion on you. Somebody catches a pass on you in a game and suddenly you're the worst player ever to play in the NFL.”
