I've never been a fan of individual awards because football is such a team sport. There's so many things that goes into making plays. It's about teammates trusting one another and working together.

I just want to continue to play great football - that's all that matters. I don't really care about the accolades or any of that.

Football is a team sport and not an individual sport. We win as a team, and every individual is better if we are part of the team.

We've got some talented people in my family in regards to football, and we do it the right way.

I am constantly being asked about individuals. The only way to win is as a team. Football is not about one or two or three star players.

Once you become an owner of a team, you get so much more into the sport and you can't help it. So I really love NFL football now to the degree of following it much more than I did previously.

Football is a great deal like life in that it teaches that work, sacrifice, perseverance, competitive drive, selflessness and respect for authority is the price that each and every one of us must pay to achieve any goal that is worthwhile.

You know, I never looked down the road and said, 'Hey look, one day, the Hall of Fame.' It's always about playing each and every game 100 percent and I thank my teammates for getting me into the Hall because football is a team sport, not an individual sport.

Football is like life - it requires perseverance, self-denial, hard work, sacrifice, dedication and respect for authority.

When it's football season, I'm all football.
