The Reason Of Football Is Not To

It Was A Wonderful Experience To Play In The Nfl, And I Have No Regrets. I Truly Will Miss Playing For The Lions. I Consider The Lions' Players, Coaches, Staff, Management And Fans My Family. I Leave On Good Terms With Everyone In The Organization.

As A Kid, I Played My Share Of Football In The Street Or In A Vacant Lot. When We Were Playing In The Street, It Was More Touch Football, So We Didn't Hit Each Other Into Cars.

It's Hard To Win In The Nfl. You Have To Maintain A Very Delicate Balance Putting Together The Right Team To Be Able To Win And Have Any Amount Of Success.

I Just Felt Like I Had Run Out Of Steam. I Just Felt Like It Was My Time.

Too Often We Are Scared. Scared Of What We Might Not Be Able To Do. Scared Of What People Might Think If We Tried. We Let Fears Stand In The Way Of Our Hopes. We Say No When We Want To Say Yes. We Sit Quietly When We Want To Scream. And We Shout With The Others, When We Should Keep Our Mouths Shut. Why? After All, We Do Only Go Around Once. There's Really No Time To Be Afraid. Just Do It.
