As a punt returner in the NFL, I know all about teamwork, high-speeds, and collisions on Sundays.
I haven't seen a new football play since I was in high school. You have just so many holes in a line and you have eleven men playing, and there's only so many ways you can go through those holes, and those ways have been used for forty, fifty years.
If people don't know what a punter is in football, they're not going to know what a fourth down kicker is, either.
About a year after I retired from playing, I decided that I wanted to getback to college, where I had the greatest time of my life, and to get involved with college football.
I was mainly a blocker in college. I mainly lined up in the backfield at fullback.
I love getting after that quarterback! That's my deal: sacking the quarterback.
Nobody I ever broke bread with, and I see players all the time, talked about using their head running the football.
In playoff football, you've got to be physical. You've got to run the ball.
I've spent my entire adulthood in pro football.
I loved playing in the Big Ten, where it's three yards and a cloud of dust.
In eighth grade, I was actually better in football. I played running back, wide receiver, and safety - just like Allen Iverson.
Kiko Alonso is a tremendous football player.
After watching films of Jim Brown, I noticed that he never ran out of bounds. He always ran North and South and that's what I turned my style into. I was a North and South runner.
Football is blocking and tackling. Everything else is mythology.
I hate running. Only if I have to, but my job is to get the ball to the receivers, the tight ends, running backs.
When it comes to football, I'm more of a traditional guy. I love going to Green Bay.
I didn't think I'd be starting a NFL game.
It's an accomplishment to play in the NFL.
I have just fallen back in love with rugby league again.
Linebacking is easy. Hike the ball, and I know where to go.
I hit a one-yard draw in there
When I played for the Steelers and I got my bell rung, I'd take smelling salts and go right back out there.
As a football player, as an athlete, as a competitor, that dream of playing the Super Bowl... I was never going to lose that.
I really enjoyed my time playing in a Browns uniform.
I'm an NFL guy.
