I'm just trying to find ways to give back and use my platform to put a smile on other people's faces and ultimately make change.

I want to foster a positive relationship between police officers and the communities they protect.
I'm conscious to know who I am as a young man and what I want to be off the field and how I want to impact other people.
Most of my tattoos have a story. When people ask me, I tell them whatever they want hear. 'What's this tattoo? What does this mean? Does it hurt?' I tell them everything they want to know.
If police are upset about an individual wearing pig socks, they need to understand why those socks exist in the first place.
I'm into fashion and design and clothing, but I'm not into supporting brands if I don't know what their message is, and how the people that work for them are treated.
When I was younger, I grew up a Packers fan because my dad played for the Packers. As I got older, I've fallen away from it.
I have a '72 Volkswagen bus and it's lime green.
It's funny, I probably have 500 pairs of shoes - all these sneakers or whatever that I've collected - but when push comes to shove, I always end up wearing the same two or three pairs.
I think I've done a good job of trying to figure out ways to continue to use my voice and platform for the right things.
I've always rooted on kids that do what they want to do and are being who they want to be.
There's people out there that wear hoodies, that have tattoos and piercing, that look crazy and have huge hearts on the inside.
I have a little bit more of an edge to me.
There's always areas of the game you want to improve. For me, specifically, yards after the catch, making those tough, contested catches.
I can tell you that I'm getting open and I'm trying to take advantage of every opportunity that comes my way.
I wish we could do a better job of understanding what we're doing to kids, because it can be better. It's unfair to give up on these young black kids. We don't do that to white kids.
Activism isn't something you just kind of get involved in and then turn your back on it.
I've tried to distance myself from the RISE initiative based off a gut feeling I had. I've done little things here and there, but I wasn't included in the Super Bowl thing they did, and it's something I felt in my gut from the beginning. I respect the work that they've done, but things aren't aligning for me so I try to stay away from it.
I hope that people understand in order for things to change in our country, we all have to come together and do it together.
I'm kind of a free spirit, you know what I mean?
I think it's important to understand people can disagree on things, and still move forward.
The MMA stuff has been really good, I'm enjoying that. To be able to work with Jay Glazer, he's a total meathead, he loves all that stuff. I hit him as hard as I can and he's like 'Yeah!' It's been fun for me to release that anger without putting pads on.
I connect deeply with SAVE's mission and I realize it doesn't matter which specific group you're fighting for, that everyone deserves equality, everyone deserves safety, and everyone deserves to be able to live their lives free of hate, fear and discrimination.
I love my fanny pack.
Making a bad decision, that's just one decision, but if you do it over and over again there's no growth. If you can move forward, there's an opportunity for you to grow and change.
I'm trying to do the work God created in my heart to do.
Drew Brees is going to be in the Hall of Fame.
We're not preparing to lose games.
I decided to protest in 2016 because I was feeling helpless and somebody needed to do something.
Every ball that comes my way, I believe should be caught.
I'm just trying to set my game up to that level of anytime the ball comes my way, I make a play, making people miss and getting the yards after the catch.
Me, in all aspects of my life, I'm thinking about how can I maximize my skill set and who I am as a person. That's part of my job in becoming a better receiver.
I'll continue to speak my mind.
A lot of the things I've talked about are being a human being, being respectful, and really just caring about others, and trying to draw the line in the sand when it comes to hate and divisiveness.
If you say you're going to be about something, let's be about it.
We want equality for everyone and justice when it's time for that.
Every cop isn't a bad cop just like every NFL player that makes a mistake, we're not all bad guys.
My pops played for the Packers for five years.
Getting in the community, working with the kids, was a way that I felt like I could get out and make a change.
As you progress high school, college into the league, you can tell the difference between quarterbacks with their timing and the way the ball comes out of their hand.
It's tough for some families throughout the year and during the holidays.
It's an honor to be even mentioned in the same breath as Walter Payton.
Whenever I have a message to get out I seem to find a way to get my message out.
I'm conscious to know and understand what's going on with the game and what comes from the game and what's life after football.
Every once in a while, you need a reminder of how people see you, view you.
A lot of people don't realize the toll put on activists. There's a very draining element to it.
I love to talk to people.
I just love to share my story with people as much as I can.
I would just say that I have high expecations for myself.
I'm not a big fan of any team; I'm a fan of players.
