I Really Love Peace And Quiet.

I Sat Behind Thurman Thomas For My First Couple Of Years, Then My First Year Starting I Won The Heisman. After I Won The Heisman, That’s When Things Changed As Far As Going To The Nfl.

You Know, I'm Fairly Intelligent, But I Don't Think My Grades Reflected That.

Happiness Does Not Come From Football Awards. It's Terrible To Correlate Happiness With Football. Happiness Comes From A Good Job, Being Able To Feed Your Wife And Kids. I Don't Dream Football, I Dream The American Dream - Two Cars In A Garage, Be A Happy Father.

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.

Shortly After The End Of Last Season, I Felt That I Probably Would Not Return For The 1999-2000 Season. I Also Felt That I Should Take As Much Time As Possible To Sort Through My Feelings And Make Sure That My Feelings Were Backed With Conviction.
