keys games chiropractic
Chiropractic was the key to keeping me in the game.
sports football team
You know, I never looked down the road and said, 'Hey look, one day, the Hall of Fame.' It's always about playing each and every game 100 percent and I thank my teammates for getting me into the Hall because football is a team sport, not an individual sport.
football crazy games
I'm really looking forward to the Hall of Fame ceremonies. It's going to be unbelievable - just crazy. I'm looking forward to thanking all the fans for inspiring me to go out there and play my best football each and every game.
summer strong father
I used to help out my father, a bricklayer, in the summer. I'd catch the bricks (that were dropped). And it made me strong, catching those bricks. I wouldn't change anything about it. That's why I'm where I am today. Really.
football player being-the-best
There is still a lot of football in me and I enjoy watching the players go out there and be the best players they can possibly be.
football retirement fun
The things that are happening to me are unbelievable. I'm actually busier right now than when I played football. This is almost like I'm coming back out of retirement. It will be fun to see myself in the game.
fun games play
I went out there to play my game for the fun of it and never based my career around records.

I feel like I'm the best, but you're not going to get me to say that.
thank-you dream teammate
If I should get selected into the Hall of Fame, I'd be able to say 'thank you' to all the legends that are in the Hall of Fame. And also say thank you to my teammates, and also to all the fans. It's going to be like a dream come true.
school parent work-ethic
My work ethic came from my parents and my fear of failure. I came from a small, predominantly black school and I didn't want to let them down.
thinking fame fantastic
I think it was fantastic being in the 49ers Hall of Fame.
football pressure used
I'm used to performing under pressure, but that's playing football.
