The thing I don't miss is waking up in the morning, hurting, the grind of the game.

I don't even like to talk Lions too much just because the way our relationship ended.

Guys get concussions, they don't tell the coaches. It happens.

The team needs me out there on the field. And sometimes you allow that to jeopardize yourself, but that's just the nature of the world.

I don't want to dog the NFL.

I gotta go through, like, a little routine when I wake up in the morning to get everything functioning and ready to go. But, the only thing is everything just goes back to gridlock so fast once I sit down, 'cause you know you go to work again.

My biggest regret is that I wasn't able to help give our fans a championship.

I'm on 'Dancing with the Stars' because I want to prove my sister wrong. My sister literally told the world that I could not dance, so I have to redeem myself.

I've got a lot of miles on my legs.

I've got a lot of other things I want to do.

That's everybody's goal, when they come to the league, is to win a Super Bowl. That's the ultimate goal.

Be real with yourself in whatever area of your life and your game that you need improvement on. Once you figure that out, you just have to go out and work on it. For me, it's footwork. I constantly work on it, and it's a never-ending process.

I'm an honest guy.

I've got nothing to be ashamed of.

I feel fine as long I'm not running around.

You love the game, but it's hard to do the things you do when you're feeling like you're a leg down all the time, literally. Or you're always beat up, even coming into the season. So it's just not as fun when you're down, and you got to work your way up. And you can't really get there because you're so beat up.

Retired life's good, man.

If you feel like you've got a concussion, if you don't know, if you take the test whatever, if you feel like you've got a concussion, the biggest thing is rest, man. Cause you usually compound your injury so much if you go back out there, and we all know that now.

Each year, you've got to talk about it more and more, you've got to have programs. You're doing these camps, you've got to talk about concussion awareness.

All of us growing up, if you're a professional player or a college player, you're molding your game after guys. You see guys, you see things guys do. Like Randy Moss, I'm a Randy Moss guy.

It's a part of football, you get concussed, you gotta keep on playing. You can't get afraid to go across the middle any more than you were at the beginning.

When you're in the game, you're still in the moment.

When I first came into the league, my first three, four years, I had a teammate from college win a Super Bowl.

I had great stats in my career, you know, but really, you want to win.

Even if the coverage is leaning toward you or whatever it may be, there's ways to beat it.

Sometimes, it's just unfortunate you get injured in the game. But you can definitely take strides to prevent those things.

Whatever you want to call it, they have all these names for these coverages, I've seen them. Like those linemen coming out to jam me on the line of scrimmage. A lot of crazy stuff.

I can have three touchdowns and 200 yards, but if we lose the game, what's it all for?

Anything negative that comes at me throughout the week, you just take it and put it in that box over there for motivation and use it on Sunday.

Not many of my friends I had from college are playing in this league. Everybody knows it's a privilege, so you definitely don't knock it because you never know where you may end up.

We all understand it's a privilege just to be playing in this league.

I've watched Urkel since I was a little kid.

I'm okay with anybody expressing their rights.

It was cool to meet Cris Carter. That dude has some of the best hands to have played the game.

When I was in college, I used to love to watch football on Sundays.

To be able to sit back and enjoy the game, sit back and watch guys that you know played and you might have worked with it or you personally know, it's cool; it's awesome to sit back and say I know that guy because you're more of a fan of that game and that person.

You don't want to disappoint your mama, for that main fact that she's going to get on your behind.

Bless my mom. Mom is everything to me.

Sometimes, I'm just a fan of the guy, and we'll switch jerseys.

Sometimes you usually know the point where to keep your mouth shut.

You shouldn't put your hands on a woman. Simple as that.

I'm going to discipline my kids, and can't no one tell me how to discipline my kids.

It's not a public matter when you discipline your family.

My dad's funny. He's laid back and a cool guy.

My mom, she's the strict one. If we did something bad, we'd get a whippin' but nothing too bad.

Some days I wouldn't even go to class. I'd sit in the room and play video games with my friends and eat powdered mashed potatoes.

Any time you have an injury, it's going to be tough.

It's cool because football, as much as it gives, it takes away a lot, too.

All the energy, all the pain, sweat and tears that go into it, the amount I had to put in to get me to where I had to play, it was more taxing on me physically and mentally than it was good for me.

I was able to do well for myself, make a statement in the league. I had a heck of a time doing it, but at the end of the day, it's about me and my family and being comfortable and being fun.
