I've always worked my butt off physically and mentally.
For all of the achievements and awards, to be able to retire as a Raider ranks highest among all of those.
I don't talk smack because I feel like it's a waste of energy.
I don't learn as well, I think, in like a structured way. I kind of have to be thrown into it.
I was never a big spender.
In film, there's always this looking for the 'If you lay down and burst into tears, you did a good job.'
I think any time you get a boost of confidence, it fuels you to do more, and that kept happening for me.
In high school, you can just go out there and play. In the NFL it was so much more mental.
When you're playing to get into the playoffs, your contract is the last thing on your mind.
My parents were among the first families from their area to leave Nigeria and come to America, the land of the free.
It doesn't matter how well you play individually if the team isn't winning.
There's a drive, there's a hunger inside of me that says, 'I know what I can do and I'm going to get it done.'
I grew up in L.A. In the '80s, and the Lakers were the biggest thing to ever hit the world at that time.
When I was a kid, I thought good acting was fascinating, and I could tell the difference. I could see that at like 9 years old.
I always grade myself hard.
My favorite piece of clothing as a boy was a purple Magic Johnson jersey from the Los Angeles Lakers.
Just to have the opportunity to play in the NFL, I think it's the biggest dream come true for me.
It's really refreshing to get these types of moments when people can say, 'Yeah, you're one of the best.'
It's a difficult thing in this league to match up, to line up and play one-on-one football.
It takes time to change a system and to change a mindset.
I've never gone into a season thinking I didn't have something to prove.
I've had a chip on my shoulder every year that I've played.
I'm very grateful for my time in Philadelphia and I want to thank the Eagles organization for the opportunity to play here.
I'm really bad at self-promotion.
I'm grateful for all the teams that I've played for, the fans, the organizations, the front offices, the list goes on and on.
I'm a class clown.
