I Talk To Players All The Time.

This Is An Opportunity To Create A Better Future For The Nfl, To Improve The Game For Our Fans, And To Expand The Economic Benefits For The Players And Teams. Staying With The Status Quo Is Not An Option. The World Has Changed For Everyone, Including The Nfl And Our Fans. We Must Get Better In Everything We Do ... If Both Sides Compromise And Give A Little, Everyone Will Get A Lot, Especially The Fans.

I Don't Get Myself Caught Up In The Rhetoric Of Any Personal Comments That Are Made.

I Learned In High School That I Was Going To Have To Outwork People. I Remember Running Around The Track, Training For Football, And A Faster Guy Ran Past Me. I Just Figured, I Can Outlast Him. If I Work Harder Than Him, I'll Beat Him. And To This Day I Overprepare.

It's Not Just The Nfl. Every Other League Has A Draft. It Has Been Fundamental To The Success Of Professional Sports.

It Is Very Common ... To Tell Graduates: Dream And Dream Big. I Say Do More Than That. When You Dream You Are In An Unconscious State. It Ends. You Wake Up. It's Not Real.
