If you told me to choose between family and football, then it is no choice. I take family, of course, like everyone. But I prefer to keep it private, and that's it. I just focus on the football.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Well family is obviously the most important. There was a time when I thought football was the most important.
Football's in my blood - and eventually I want to be the one making decisions.
I love football, football is my life.
We've got some talented people in my family in regards to football, and we do it the right way.
When I was in high school, my mom hated football. But then, the more I played, the more it grew on her. This game has done a lot for my family - not just from a financial standpoint, but it also helped bring my family together.
Football is a great love because I was born into a family of players and therefore born into football. I'm fortunate to have a style of play that a lot of people like. It's a privilege to be able to do what I like best and in my own way, but I'm fortunate that people like it, and that motivates me even more.
I'm a very private person, and you have a lot of people looking into your personal life, away from football. That's the one thing that I don't like, but I always remember how lucky we are that we're playing football.
But when you lose a family member or something tragic happens, that stays with you forever. You never get over it. Knowing that you have to deal with that for the rest of your life... Football is important, but not as important as you once thought it was.
You don't choose your family. They are God's gift to you, as you are to them.
Football is good, but family, close friends, my brothers - I have family everywhere - is the most important thing.
