When you go out on a football field, you are responsible for taking care of yourself. The more rules you get, the less players truly take care of themselves.

You have to take care of the ball to win football games.

As football gets more globalised, it's probably more important than ever to have one or two players in your team who have grown up in the same streets or been to the same schools as the hard-core fans.

In football, it's the ultimate team sport. You have to have good people around you as a quarterback for things to happen.

Sometimes in football you have to score goals.

Football has an important role to play in society. Players should have a sense of social responsibility, have a moral dimension to them which shows up in good conduct.

At one time, we were asked to play your own man; you're responsible for your own man. And, if you were good enough and kind of a ball hawk, you helped everyone else. Now it's really much more of a team concept defensively than it was when we played.

It's an awesome responsibility, not only to maintain the level of success the NFL has, but to build on that.

I feel like I'm just like anyone else. I just happen to play football, and obviously with that comes responsibility, but I love that.

In the IPL, you are often single-handedly responsible for the fortunes of your team. It makes you more responsible as a player.
