“After the NFLPA game, coaches were coming up to me and saying, 'We didn't even know who you were, we didn't even know your name; we weren't supposed to be even looking at you, but man, we have no choice.' And, like, the NFLPA game, I wasn't even invited until the last minute.”
“In college, you always say you're looking for a home. I found my home in Seattle before I did in college. So that's why I say I love it here.”
“Started an early career with Seattle, came straight in and they gave me a chance to play early.”
“We plan ahead so we know what's to come. By eighth grade, we knew we would never leave each other. We talk about having adjacent houses when we get older.”
“To get change, you need to go on and vote.”
“Being that team player, all of my thoughts are about the team. What can I do for the team?”
“It feels comfortable to me being on the left side, knowing that I'm left handed, being more dominant on that side.”
“I would look straight back at the quarterback thinking the ball's coming straight to me... and as soon as I looked back, the ball's going right over my head.”
“You go against so many different receivers, sometimes you want to try different techniques.”
“I've got to be more than just good. I've got to be more than just great. I've got to be elite, and I've got to be that type of guy they can count on.”
“I want to work on my endurance.”
“I like the package deal. A lot of schools just want me, but I know what I'm standing for. I know what I'm here for. I'd rather be with my brother than without my brother. Some college, I actually turned down because they didn't want the package deal. I'm sticking with it.”
“Find what makes you happy. Find what you love and take full advantage of it.”
“As a team and as a player, it's about winning, and if you're only thinking about yourself, you're thinking about the wrong thing.”
“I remember plays that hurt me that I had to live with.”
“I feel like no one in the NFL is perfect.”
“I don't have to do anything outrageous. I just feel like if I come and be completely who I am and completely who I am to this game and give the same to my peers, to my teammates, these coaches, I feel like that's all we need to do.”
“I think that's the most exciting thing, writing my own journey, my story with an organization that truly believes in me the same way I believe in them.”
“I remember hearing stories about Aaron Rodgers coming into my rookie year and to get my hands on him, it's huge.”
“Coming back to Florida, being able to have the opportunity to be a part of something new and something great and something special, I feel like that's the part that I was looking forward to.”
