I've accomplished many things, but what I cherish more than any record I hold, fourth-quarter comebacks or any wins I was involved in, is the relationships. |
I've always admired Coach Shula. I thought I'd be drafted a little sooner, but now I'm happy I wasn't and Miami was around to pick me. |
I've been a Dolphin for 17 years, and I'll be a Dolphin for the rest of my life. That will never change. |
If you ask any great player or great quarterback, there's a certain inner confidence that you're as good as anybody. But you can't say who is the absolute best. To be considered is special in itself. |
If you don't play to win right now, why even play? I think that's the attitude of the coaching staff and everybody involved in the organization. |
If you had asked me if I thought that any of those guys were better than me when I got picked, I would have told you that I was the best player there, ... If you didn't feel that way, then shame on you. |
In fact, during that first week after the Colts' game, when it hurt so bad I could hardly sleep and the blood was everywhere, I wondered whether, after thirteen years, the game was worth all this. I really started to question myself and just how much longer I could pay the price. But, like the pain, that eventually passed. |
Isn't Clayton a little old to still be playing? |
It was good advice, |
It's an honor to be considered with the great players, but you have to consider the fact that I've had a lot of help. It's fun. |
It's kind of cute, |
It's nice to feel the fans are behind you. You shouldn't concern yourself with things like that - but it does matter. |
It's not how hard you throw it, but how fast you get it there. |
It's not like tennis or golf, ... You have to rely on other people. |
It's real nice and exciting for me to break the records, but it's more exciting for me to be on a winning team. |
