My brother was a Chargers fan, so we watched Dan Fouts a lot growing up.

I was a Cowboys fan growing up.

The greatest impact you can have on people is never what you say but how you live... You set the standard with your actions. The words can come after.

People are going to forget that I won a Super Bowl, but they're never going to forget the kind of impact you had on them personally.

My parents were very supportive of my chess. When I got home after a game of chess, having missed school or something, they always made me feel very welcome; I didn't feel guilty at all about pursuing chess with such fervour. They never, for instance, perceived sports as a rival to academics.

I love being a running back. But I really love being a football player.

Growing up, I always thought of Detroit as a basketball town because of the Pistons, but everyone says it's really, at its core, a football town.

My parents gave up on their dreams in sports because they were athletes, and they had me at such an early age. I didn't want to do that.
