00:07 I played the whole game with one arm, so I mean, it don't really matter to me.
00:11 He told me I'm out for a whole year, and I can't get kicked anymore.
00:16 >> When you hear that though, does that drive you to an extent to get back fast?
00:20 >> Yeah, I think what I've been going through.
00:21 I had a rough off season, lost Super Bowl, lost all my brothers.
00:26 So you gotta think about it, the ball got to the way quick.
00:29 So I had to really think about life for what it was.
00:33 That's why I'm back, cuz of that.
00:35 >> Was there any, I mean, you are a free agent.
00:37 There is maybe a little bit of risking coming up.
00:39 >> I ain't worried about that, bro.
00:40 You gotta think about it.
00:41 I'm what, five years, 13?
00:43 I'm tripping on that.
00:45 If it happens, it happens.
00:46 If it don't, everybody know what I can do.
00:48 At this point in life, ain't no more proving who Johnson got into Johnson is.
00:52 Can he play safety?
00:53 Can he play this?
00:54 Is he a team player?
00:55 Y'all know.
00:55 Y'all write more good articles than bad now.
00:57 So let's just call it what it is.
01:01 When coaches tell you contagious, it's not just being a football player,
01:04 it's being a player, a person.
01:06 I think the joy I bring to myself, I think I should be able to spread it out.
01:10 It's locker room, everybody's smiling.
01:12 Just understand that you don't get this opportunity to actually come back and
01:17 help a team, to make a run.
01:18 So I'm happy.
01:20 Y'all should be happy.
01:22 I just play through it.
01:24 How do I play through it?
01:25 Let me tell you how I play through it.
01:26 I'm a dog.
01:27 I don't think there's no safety better than me right now.
01:31 That's why.
01:32 I feel like I'm the best safety, so I gotta go out there and prove it.
01:35 That's why I did it.
