I think things will work out for the greater good for not only me but the city of Pittsburgh. I'm extremely grateful to get out in the community of Pittsburgh and not only play the game but affect other people and kids in that regard, and I'm excited about the whole process of that.
The NFL is the only sport where you can be on a team five years, and your contract's not guaranteed. You can go through the whole process of training camp, and then as soon as it's the season, it's a week-to-week job, and they can cut you at any moment, or you can get hurt at any moment. It's not like that in other sports.
I try to swim once or twice a week. I basically hold my breath for, like, 12 laps, down and back, to kind of expand my lungs so that I can have better breathing when it comes down to two-minute drives where you've got to play a lot of plays all in one series and you're hurrying up.
At the onset, I decided to name my brand LVL XIII - which means Level 13. The number 13 identified within the name and concept of the brand references throughout history that every creation begins at the level of thought and idea.
It's always great to engage with people. You never know who you can make an effect on. And I love interacting with the fans, hearing what they have to say and joking around with them. Anytime I can reach out online and give encouragement, motivate people, be a better citizen, that's what it's all about, man.
Karma is karma. Karma is in life. You do the wrong things, you get the wrong things out of it.
If you play this game long enough, you're going to get your tail kicked at least once.
In a competition, there's always winners and losers. And I think everyone is here to win, which makes it fun for us all.
I know everything I do is going to be magnified.
I play with a lot of great peers around the NFL - to even be mentioned with those guys is something special.
I've been fighting for my life before and sleeping in cars and trying to find a place to lay my head. I've had situations where I've had nowhere to go. This is the easy part. I overcame life.
Money is not important to me. I've got enough. The organization has extremely blessed me. I'm here to play football, and that's what I want to be known as.
Anytime you get an opportunity to put more fun into the game, that's good. I've got a lot of positive energy.
I don't think of myself as a small receiver, but you can't control what somebody says about you. It hasn't held me back - actually, I think I've changed the perception of smaller receivers.
Aaron Rodgers - I love the way he scrambles and how he plays the game - he always makes great decisions with the ball.
We usually have a rookie show when camp is almost over. It's a chance to get to know the rookies and to have fun and set the pace for the season.
I am filled with so much sincerity and gratitude to know where I came from and what I'm doing now.
The team goals are always more important than individual goals. The ultimate goal is to win the Super Bowl and to do something special. The other little goals that you guys write up, those things take care of itself in the midst of playing football.
If you want to be the best, you can't take the path of least resistance. Every morning, you wake up, and your mind tells you it's too early, and your body tells you you're a little too sore, but you've got to look deep within yourself and know what you want and what you're striving for.
I lift weights in the offseason about four times a week; during the season, I'll lift three times a week. The weight training is key because most guys come in during the summertime as strong as they are going to get, and they fizzle down as the year starts.
