Obviously, the goal is to maximize my own potential, whatever that may be. That's all I focus on.

I don't want to be 50 years old and not know what's going on with my kids and my grandkids.

I'm just a receiver. I don't want to be labeled as a deep-threat guy, which is always going to happen because I'm always going to be able to run past people until I'm slow. I watch some guys who are very good at being deep threats, but it's like people don't respect them doing anything else.

I just talk just to talk. I like to see what other people think. There's some things somebody tweets me every day where I'm like, 'Wow, I never thought of this issue that way.' It starts great conversation with people who I would never get a chance to actually communicate with.

I got the chance to play the sport that I love, which was football, successfully for 25 years. Life has been great for me.

People tend to like an athlete's performance, but if you don't get a feeling for the individual, you're not very emotive about them.

I'd followed the strange deaths of pro football players for years, sensing something odd going on.

I grew up in Cleveland, so my heart got attached at a young age to the freight train of sadness that is Cleveland sports.
