I remember my dad, who coached football, would buy some of his players football shoes when they couldn't afford it.

I remember hearing stories from my mother and father about their parents and grandparents when they were taken off the reservation, taken to the boarding schools, and pretty much taught to be ashamed of who they were as Native Americans. You can feel that impact today.

There are some hot girls in Vancouver.

Football players should always remember there's a whole lot more to life.

There was a point - when I was a kid - where I said I wanted to be like Luke Skywalker, with blond hair and blue eyes. My mom right there told me to never be ashamed of who I am.

I feel like giving back is in my blood.
