In a sportsperson's life, pressure is always there; you have to learn to deal with it.

I feel pressure every day. It is only pressure that I put on myself, but I would expect all professional sportspeople to feel pressure to perform their best whenever they are at work.

I think as far as any kind of pressure on a football team or on an individual in professional sports really depends not only on that individual but the leadership they have on the team and the leadership they have on the coaching staff. A lot of times, they can divert some of those pressures off of the individual and off of the team.

I actually love pressure. I loved playing sport at school in front of a crowd; I love being on stage in front of a big audience. I buzz off that.

I don't really put too much pressure on myself. The only time people feel pressure is when they put it on themselves and listen to the outside stuff. I have great teammates and great coaches that do the right things around me that allows me to just focus on the game of football.

For an athlete, the biggest pressure comes from within. You know what you want to do and what you're capable of.

The emotion to handle the pressure is one of the biggest challenges in football - it's the top challenge.

I'm used to performing under pressure, but that's playing football.

I've always been a guy who wants to play sports, not watch them.

Pressure is part and parcel of our career.
