Will Shields Quotations

For any athlete, you never can tell what's going to happen four years, five years down the road,

It's something special. It's not just media hype. You can sense it with coaches and players. Then you get out into the community, and you realize what a huge game this is for both cities.

Dont forget, I was the soft, pudgy kid in school that everyone made fun of.

I think I was one of those kids that I might not fight you if you stepped on my shoes or stole my lunch money or that kind of stuff. But if you picked on a girl or something like that, that would cause me to rear up a little bit.

Football is a violent game. We are violent men.

It's different kinds of strengthening things. Some things that are more specific to strengthen the things around your back, things you don't think about. I'm just going to see how I feel after today's practice.

It went OK. I can't complain. I was out there, I was in pads and I finished practice.

I'm most proud of the fact I carried myself on and off the field consistently for what the NFL stands for.

Just looking at society as a whole, there are a lot of different things that we are not doing as a group to make sure we are close. Everything is in transit. People are moving from place to place. You can have a neighbor you live next to for five years and never speak to, and nobody has a problem with that.

Then some guys just walk away and feel great. They lose 50 or 60 pounds. Hopefully I can join that group and not the other group.
