I think it's very easy for people to stereotype athletes, good and bad.
From Ricky Williams
The people that I see on the street, they treat me more as a human being and not just an icon or a football player.
Texas was such a welcoming place, and with its unbelievable history and tradition, it's extra special to be a part of that.
I started practicing yoga. I started learning some hands-on healing stuff. And I found really good chiropractors, really good massage therapists, and what I found is I've been able to actually peel off layers of trauma on my body and actually move better now than I did.
Maybe I'm stupid or whatever, but to me if I got a concussion, if I could see straight and I could carry a football then I'm not telling anybody.
I stepped away to find out more about myself, which I was having difficulty doing as a football player. I got a chance to travel the world. I studied Eastern philosophy, and I've grown as a person so much.
I'm a huge gamer, everything from PC to Xbox to PS2.
I don't believe in regret.
I like to live in places that are kind of off in the cuts so people can't really find me even if they wanted to.
I allowed myself to think if I could be doing anything in the world, what would I be doing? And what came to mind is I'd be traveling a little bit, I'd be going to classes and I'd be going back to school.
