I played football, honestly, to get a scholarship.

I definitely want to be known as an educated person as well as being a good football player.

Going to college offered me the chance to play football for four more years.

If football had always been my main goal then I would have gone to some scholarship school; I could have gotten more exposure there.

I wanted to go to college and play football.

I want to be a great player. I don't want to play for the money. I don't want to play for fame. I'd just as soon no one knew who I was. I want to play football because it's football.

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

Since I was in high school, I wanted to play professional football and professional baseball, be a two-sport star.

I wanted to play football all my life, and when I got accepted to Florida State, it was academically - it wasn't for any kind of scholarship. I kind of sat down and said, 'I'm not going to make it to the NFL. I'm not the size nor the skill.'

I wanted to be a football player. Football is a sport that I love, but the more I started playing basketball, the more I started dreaming of playing in the NBA.
