My wife Julie and I are driven to make positive and enduring change in our beloved city of Philadelphia, in California, in Haiti, and around the world.

What I've learned, being in this league, is you can't take things personally.

I'm very confident in my abilities.

I don't play this game to be an average tight end.

My seventh-grade year, I played football. I was, like, 15 pounds overweight, so I had to lose a ton of weight. They put me at left tackle; they put me on the defensive line. I absolutely hated football. I didn't want to play again. Eighth grade year, I didn't play.

If I could get better on the field, I could get better in my interviews. I took that approach: if there's something I'm deficient in, whether it be in relationships, whether it be talking to people, just that self-reflection to seek people out who can help me.

I was very fortunate to have several mentors in my life that believed in my ability on the football field. It was their support that made me believe that I could do it, too.

Richard Sherman has kind of the peak of self-confidence. I'm a little below that. But I've learned a lot from him.

Don't live and die with every play.

My opinion is I can get open against anybody.
