“There's people out there that wear hoodies, that have tattoos and piercing, that look crazy and have huge hearts on the inside.”

“There's no point in having a bunch of stuff that you're not going to wear. Why not just have a few things that you actually like?”

“I've always rooted on kids that do what they want to do and are being who they want to be.”

“People told me I was more of a soccer player, not a football player.”

“It's an honor to be even mentioned in the same breath as Walter Payton.”

“I think I've done a good job of trying to figure out ways to continue to use my voice and platform for the right things.”

“I'm just trying to set my game up to that level of anytime the ball comes my way, I make a play, making people miss and getting the yards after the catch.”

“A lot of people don't realize the toll put on activists. There's a very draining element to it.”

“I can walk into Walmart in California and not really get mentioned for being a football player.”

“They give us this presentation every year about the NFL being a brotherhood. And if something is going on with one of your brothers, I feel like we should be there to have his back and speak up for him.”

“I'm just trying to take a stand for people that are unique.”

“Every cop isn't a bad cop just like every NFL player that makes a mistake, we're not all bad guys.”

“I'm kind of a free spirit, you know what I mean?”

“Making a bad decision, that's just one decision, but if you do it over and over again there's no growth. If you can move forward, there's an opportunity for you to grow and change.”

“There's a lot to it, but the bottom line as a receiver is to run the right route, get open and make plays.”

“Me, in all aspects of my life, I'm thinking about how can I maximize my skill set and who I am as a person. That's part of my job in becoming a better receiver.”

“I'm into fashion and design and clothing, but I'm not into supporting brands if I don't know what their message is, and how the people that work for them are treated.”

“I can tell you that I'm getting open and I'm trying to take advantage of every opportunity that comes my way.”

“We're not preparing to lose games.”

“It's funny, I probably have 500 pairs of shoes - all these sneakers or whatever that I've collected - but when push comes to shove, I always end up wearing the same two or three pairs.”
