I had to have help getting up these stairs because I've been tackled by so many lions and tigers. Really. I'm like an old football player.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Every step, whether at high school or at college or at the NFL, I had to climb and crawl and scratch to get there.
A squirrel attacked me. I got attacked by a squirrel in Battersea Park. They're dangerous. It's rare. I've torn most of the ligaments in my knee. So no football for me. It's early retirement now. I've got a floating knee-cap!
I come from a football family which has really helped.
In Detroit, the quarterbacks lift with all the linebackers and running backs and everybody else, so I'm doing that whole thing.
I had sacrificed my entire life to play football.
I'll continue to tackle back. I want to help the team as much as I can, and if I need to get back and defend, I will.
I'm here to play football.
I feel like a tiger right now. There's nothing impossible if you get up and work for it.
I was an athlete growing up. I was a wrestler, I played football, so I can take a fall. I actually wanted to be a stuntman when I was kid, so I would practice falling down the stairs. It's just something I like to do.
I wish my teammates, coaches and the entire Lions organization all the best.
