A. J. Green

I'm one of the guys that's always behind the scenes and always low-key.

A trade's not going to change who I am. I'm still going to play. I'm still going to be A.J.

It's different to have your head coach be in the offensive meeting room going through every play, every detail to every guy, telling them why they need to run this way or what this concept is.

Every defense's game plan is to take me away.

I need all the energy I can to go out and make plays.

A lot of people can't say that they've got three contracts in this league.

I could run all day.

We can't be afraid to make mistakes.

Everybody knows what type of guy I am. I'm not going to fake anything.

Nobody can hold me back when it's time to play.

I love hot dogs. That's the only thing I can't get rid of.

Revis is a first-ballot Hall of Famer. It's just an honor going against him.

I don't believe you have to throw the ball 80 yards every play.

I always show loyalty to the people who gave me a chance from the get-go, and Cincinnati gave me that chance.

I'm not going to be a guy that says, 'Oh I want to get traded' and then go to a situation where I'm not happy.

I don't feel like I have anything to prove. I've played this game at a high level for a long time.

I love the game and there's no need to make a fuss about it.

I just try to go about my business, love the game, prepare every week and play football.

You want to leave a legacy.

I feel I have proved myself as one of the best receivers in college football from Day 1. I believe I can easily make that next step to the NFL and do the same.

Just leaving the brotherhood I have made at Georgia, the staff and all my coaches. They've prepared me for the real world. I'm really going to miss that. But I feel like they've prepared me for the real world, to be a man.

I want a tree house.

There's never a perfect play for me.

My game is not always built off speed, it's just my craft to where I can run routes and get in-and-out of my breaks as a big guy keeps me at a consistent level for a long time.

I wanted to be great, that's from day one.

I like big challenges. They bring my game to a different level.

You can't take anything for granted so I have to keep working.

I put a lot into my body on and off the field that really gets me ready for the next day.

I hurt my toe on turf and I hurt my ankle. I never got hurt on grass.

I hate turf. I feel like turf has always hurt me.

You go through all the training camps, all the blood and sweat and tears. I think you play for the guys in the locker room. We don't play for anybody else.

Being there for my son, being there for my wife, just being a better man. That's all I know.

I didn't have to be somebody I wasn't coming into the league. I had a great foundation from my family.

You practice something enough, it becomes second nature.

The NFL stands for 'Not For Long,' so you gotta get it while it lasts.

There's always something - especially after a loss - that you look back and think you could've done better, whether it's running routes or getting some extra yards after a catch.

I love to win.

I play this game not just because of the money, man. I play because one day I want to put on that Hall of Fame jacket. Also, I want a Super Bowl. The money is just going to come anyway. But if you're not happy, the money really doesn't mean anything.

Everything that I've done in my life is always I wanted to be the best in everything I do. I want to be the best husband, the best dad, the best receiver.

I've never been the type of guy to be somebody I'm not.

I'm a 6'4' guy who can run every route. I can get in and out of breaks like a 5'10' guy.

It's a roller-coaster league, man.

They pay me the big bucks to make the big plays.

My game, I just want to be a complete receiver.

My goal when I got drafted was to always stay in one place the whole time. No matter what the situation was.

I have to be able to make plays when the ball is thrown to my side.

As an athlete, our platform is so high. A lot of people look up to us. So if they see us doing something positive, it can change the world.

I'm just blessed.

I usually go out there and play relaxed and play free and usually let the game come to me.

I feel like I'm more of a slim guy.
