NFL Quotes - BrainyQuote

To this day, I still haven't touched one dime of my signing bonus or NFL contract money. I live off my marketing money and haven't blown it on any big-money expensive cars, expensive jewelry, or tattoos and still wear my favorite pair of jeans from high school. Rob Gronkowski

School, Day, Money, Live, Jewelry, High

I was the kid that was the 199th pick that never had the body for it. People didn't think I'd play one year in the NFL, and now I'm going on my 17th year. Tom Brady

People, Think, Body, Play, Never, Year

It's not about talent once you get to the NFL because everyone's got it. It's about being willing to go that extra mile to be the best and that's something that I've always done. Robert Griffin III

Best, Talent, You, Always, Go, Done

The Madden NFL franchise holds a special place in popular culture and the cover is a coveted position for players all over the league. I'm honored to be the first cover athlete chosen by Madden NFL fans and it's a great way to cap off an amazing year for the Saints and the city of New Orleans. Drew Brees

Culture, Great, City, Amazing, Place

I've always been a fan of football, always watched the NFL and it's great to always sit back wherever I can this year. You sit back and enjoy the games, pop a little sports drink - not any pop or soda - lay back, watch the games. It's always cool to see how the games go down and just enjoy them. Rob Gronkowski

Sports, Football, Great, Cool, Enjoy

It's so hard in the NFL, man. You spend the course of a long week preparing for one opportunity. And once you get that opportunity and you get in that moment, it's just an amazing feeling. It's something you should celebrate about, something you should be excited about. Antonio Brown

Moment, Man, Opportunity, Celebrate, You

Affirmative action is a little like the professional football draft. The NFL awards its No. 1 draft choices to the lowest-ranked team in the league. It doesn't do this out of compassion or guilt. It's done for mutual survival. They understand that a league can only be as strong as its weakest team. J. C. Watts

Football, Team, Strong, Compassion

Marathon running, like golf, is a game for players, not winners. That is why Callaway sells golf clubs and Nike sells running shoes. But running is unique in that the world's best racers are on the same course, at the same time, as amateurs, who have as much chance of winning as your average weekend warrior would scoring a touchdown in the NFL. Hunter S. Thompson

Best, Time, Shoes, Game, Winning, World

As a former NFL player, I am one American who will have nothing to do with any NFL Team that cannot find the corporate courage to stand for the millions of courageous past great Americans whose sacrifice gave meaning to our flag and national anthem and to the millions upon millions who still dream to come to its free shores. Burgess Owens

Courage, I Am, Great, Team, Sacrifice

As a physician, I'm somewhat an advocate of patients. How come, before Mike Webster, no NFL player was told or knew that there was an intrinsic risk of brain damage from playing football? Bennet Omalu

Football, Brain, Risk, Physician, Come

There's rule changes every year. I do wish, however, that the NFL did have a voice from the players' side, whether it's our players' union president, or team captains, or our executive committee on the players' side. Because we're the guys that realize the risk; we're the guys on the field. Troy Polamalu

Team, Voice, Wish, Realize, President

My NFL pension can barely pay my son's tuition. You know, it's very little money. O. J. Simpson

Son, Money, You, Know, Little, Pay

Every guy has different strengths in the NFL. Receivers are different, running backs are different, but they all have that one thing that they do that's special: that thing that keeps them on the roster every year. Larry Fitzgerald

Special, Year, Different, Guy, Strengths

Every step, whether at high school or at college or at the NFL, I had to climb and crawl and scratch to get there. Victor Cruz

School, Step, College, Climb, High, Get

When I retired from the NFL, my son was born on my birthday two weeks later, which is Valentine's Day. Imagine having a son born on your birthday. Jim Kelly

Valentine's Day, Birthday, Son, Day, Two

The draft is one of my favorite events because it is about football. People are focused on how their teams improve. It's a celebration of football. And most importantly, it represents a very important time in the lives of these men who are entering the NFL, and their families. Roger Goodell

Time, Football, Men, People, Important

I think in the NFL knowledge is power, and you try to get the knowledge by whatever means. Steve Sabol

Knowledge, Power, Think, You, Try, Get

At the end of the day, it's not about starting a game in the NFL, winning a Super Bowl, or getting to the Hall of Fame. It's about representing yourself in a way that represents your faith. Kurt Warner

Faith, Yourself, Day, Game, Winning, End

What shocked me, and what I wasn't prepared for, was just how brutal and how unethical some people can be in the NFL. I mean, there were some great people, but there were some real snakes, too. I was like, 'Holy cow!' But it made me a better person, and it got me ready for other things. Terry Crews

Great, Me, People, Better, Better Person

There's a big difference between where I came from and the NFL. Things like this don't happen to people from there often. It just took a lot of hard work and dedication, staying on the right path, believing in myself, and having an inner drive. Michael Oher

Work, Hard Work, Myself, Path, People

That's the difference between the NCAA and the NFL right now. They've got to step up and say, 'We're going to do the right thing. We're going to hire qualified people. We're going to hire the best man for the job regardless of what boosters or anyone else has to say.' Tony Dungy

Best, Man, Step, People, Job, Say

Nothing surprises me anymore in the NFL. Tom Brady

Me, Nothing, Surprises, Anymore

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. Barry Sanders

Family, Good, Experience, Management

I don't want to wake up and be bored. That's probably my greatest fear is to have nothing to do. What better job is there than to play quarterback for an NFL team, and certainly one that I've been on for a long time and had success with? I don't plan on giving it up any time soon. Tom Brady

Success, Fear, Time, Job, Team, Long

I don't believe you could be a 39-year-old quarterback in the NFL and eat cheeseburgers every day. I want to be able to do what I love to do for a long time. Tom Brady

Love, Time, Day, Believe, You, Long Time

All the NFL players I have examined pathologically, I have not seen one that did not have changes in their brain system with brain damage. Bennet Omalu
