I've been blessed with some luck, great ability and athleticism. That's really what's made me a great player, but I think the reason I've been able to last this long is the little things like taking care of my body.

I don't worry about getting tired. I try not to let it guide me as far as how much I'm going to play. I play with my heart.

The street is where we all learn. I played organized football growing up as well, but when that was over, I went right to the street. I remember twisting my ankles, breaking my thumb, I hurt everything when I was little playing street ball.

I'm not perfect, but I know when I start to do something, I don't like to not finish.

This is a business, and I'll deal with it when it comes. If it comes, it comes.

I'm not Deion Sanders. We're different people with different styles. People see similarities between me and him that's fine. It's an honor to be mentioned in the same breath with him. But that's as far as I go with it.

If something's wrong with my body, I make sure to address it right away and not try to let it linger because it creates a bigger problem. You just have to understand your body, and when your body tells you something you just have to react.

When you're a little kid, you want the ball. You don't want to play defense. When you get the ball, basically you can do whatever you want.

It means a lot. It means I'm accountable.

I think as a veteran player, in general, you should feel that sense of responsibility to try to lead these guys to becoming good pros. You want the league to be in good hands, and you want these guys to become great NFL players and then pass it along to the next generation. You can only lead by example, and that's pretty much what I'm trying to do.
