When you are a free agent like I was, it definitely makes a big difference when you know there's stability at the quarterback position.
From Benjamin Watson
There are certain teams in the NFL that have a certain aura about them, and there's a certain respect level about them.
The amazing thing about a football team is we can disagree and fight like brothers, but then we come back together. We are able to be open and honest about things that may offend us.
White people think one thing and black people think another thing about the same event. And we automatically, before we really know what happened, kind of pick our sides.
The captain thing was really an honor, and it was really flattering for me. It was really something that I didn't expect, and I would say that was the highlight of my career so far, being elected captain by my peers.
So much of football relates to Christian life - sacrifice, commitment, discipline.
My grandmother and my father always said I would end up as a missionary. Well, I feel like I am one now.
I'm a Georgia guy; we can run.
Amazingly, I think that a lot of times athletes are - are kind of in a position where other think they shouldn't weigh in on certain social topics.
Overwhelmingly, I would say I've had really good support from many of my teammates and guys that I've played with. We want to be able to express our views. You know, we're part of this country, too.
