Quote

I'm a Christian who happens to be an athlete, not the other way around.

Some religious guys in sports give the impression, 'I've got something you don't have.'

So much of football relates to Christian life - sacrifice, commitment, discipline.

There is so much hypocrisy in sports.

Just as an athlete with natural gifts may fail to develop the fundamental skills necessary to play their sport after their talent fades, so people naturally disposed to faith may fail to develop the skills necessary to sustain them for a lifetime.

People look at me and see a calm, cool guy on the sidelines and I want them to know that my Christian faith affects my coaching and everything I do.

I know nothing about Christianity, nothing about football, and I'm not a Republican.

Christianity affects your whole life. I feel I'm more competitive, a better player, but off the field is where there is always a battle.

We know that as a Christian athlete, people are watching, and so we want to be the best example we can be and show that we are different - that Christ has changed our lives.

I am sorry for causing anyone to lose faith in sport.
