Jeremy Bloom Football Quotations

I don't know the correct way to classify the feeling I had after I wasn't playing football anymore. There are 5,000 fans watching on a good day in skiing. In football, it's 16 games a year and it's bigger than the Olympics as far as the fans. It was something I really missed doing.

Catching the football for me is instinctual. I've been catching the football and I can catch the football. That's natural for me and that's not a problem. My speed, I'll continue to get faster and I'll continue to get stronger.

I would think as long as I'm playing, I wouldn't be skiing. I want to be running routes all year long. I would want to be training for football all year, which I've never done.

I'm humbled to be here, and I'm very excited. The sport of football has been a huge passion of mine ever since I can remember walking. Unfortunately, it was taken from me by the NCAA. But they're not in the building today, and I'm ready to get started.

Well, this is America, so obviously football is the Big Daddy in this country. It gets the most attention and has the most pressure, and that's what I've been really missing. A lot of people love to ski in this country, but it's primarily a recreational sport and that's the way people view it. Competitive skiing is not really on the radar here.

To a certain point I feel like competitively I've done it all, looking back on everything with a smile on my face. Football is the missing block. Make it? Don't make it? I need to find that out.

There would be 80,000 people screaming at a football game.

It's going to take a lot of fuel. Getting ready to take the punishment, getting back in football shape. The commitment is huge.

It was hard, calling unwanted attention to myself when I was a freshman with a huge challenge. It was hard when the NCAA said, 'Your college football career is over and your scholarship is gone.' I had started throwing a football at age 2.
