I was a professional athlete, the best baseball player in the world at one point.

I was a very good baseball player and football player as a kid.

The only thing I ever wanted to be was a professional football player.

I wanted to be a professional baseball player.

I wasn't ever good enough to be on the baseball team and that sort of stuff.

I think the thing about that was I was always willing to work; I was not the fastest or biggest player but I was determined to be the best football player I could be on the football field and I think I was able to accomplish that through hard work.

I had 12 years under my belt of baseball at the amateur level before I got to the big leagues.

Everybody who knows anything about me knows all I ever wanted to do is play pro football. But I didn't have the talent, and I got hurt a lot. I'd do anything to be out on the field.
