Coming out of high school, Ricky Town was the dude. He was going to SC; I was going to UCLA. He was No. 1 in the country; I was No. 2.

All my teammates throughout my entire career in football had my back. I loved them; they loved me.

Over the course of my career, I'm trying to win Super Bowls... I am an NFL football player now, and I'm going to try the best that I can to be the best one.

Your primary job is to be a football player, and you've got to accomplish that task before you go out and do anything else, really.

I was more interested in playing sports than acting. I didn't take acting too seriously until the end of my junior year.

Team sports are very important for shaping personalities. It's important that kids understand the mentality behind playing team sports and playing for one another and playing with friends.

I don't want to be competing in a sport where I feel that I'm here not on my talent and my hard work but because of a piece of equipment.

That's the biggest shame there is, that L.A. doesn't have a team. I was a big fan of the L.A. Rams, and when they left, I lost interest. Then there was the Raiders, and they left. How they can't have a football team in the biggest market in the world is beyond me.
