“The goal of every athlete in the NFL is to make it to the Super Bowl.”

“I would venture to say that every kicker out there has had probably at least one or two concussions.”

“The two words that come to me when thinking of Mahomes: instinct and intuition. He has both in abundance.”

“With Harry Kane, if he wants to be legit on this then awesome, but you can't tell me Harry Kane knows the intricacies of being an NFL kicker much like I don't know about being a Premier League soccer player.”

“The number of people who've been a part of my football life is staggering.”

“I was drafted by the Saints in the fourth round in 1982. And I'm their leading scorer. I'm in their Ring of Honor.”

“You've got to have a plan, have goals and have good people around you.”

“It sounds geekish, I know, but to me, there's nothing better than the sound of a solidly hit ball.”

“I sympathize with any guy that misses because I know that it eats at your gut.”

“You see it with soccer players, you see it with CEOs - people with positions of power - they retire and they're miserable. They're driving their families crazy because they no longer have this validation and adrenaline.”

“My most important thing was, How can I get better? Because next year there are going to be guys younger than me, cheaper than me and maybe close to being as good as I am, and they want my job.”

“Even the greatest of the great players have their records broken, and that's part of the excitement, not only of football but of pro sports.”

“I feel my career has been three entities - one with the Saints, one with the Falcons and a third sort of career with the Giants and the Chiefs.”

“I love putting the exclamation point on a game.”

“Goals are like apples in a tree. Some are a little higher than others, so you just have to jump higher.”

“I'm proud to be Danish.”

“My story isn't only about my love for the country of Denmark and its people, but also my deep appreciation and respect for what I discovered here in the United States of America.”

“I have great admiration of the spirit of the people of New Orleans. They love life and stay positive.”

“I will always be a part of New Orleans and I will always be a Saint.”
