ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: How did this show come about?
And the fact that they were so into the idea was unbelievable.
With meeting Michelle Obama, it was incredible she istheperson that everyone hypes her up to be.
Very down to earth, very easy to talk to, very genuine.
I was for the first time in a long time, I was star-struck.
Lets just say that.
Michelle is a Chicago native.
Did you guys talk about the Bears?
Nah, we didnt talk about the Bears!
We were really just talking about I was asking her more questions about everyday life in the White House.
Because I think you dont really ever know [what thats like], you know?
And she was just pitching off facts.
So it was great to finally meet her and put a face to many emails and things from her.
Did you get her to dab?
[Laughs] She has some dance moves, now!
How did the kid do around the First Lady?
Oh, she was great!
She handled herself like a pro.
I think she handled herself better than I did!
People dont realize Ive been playing football since I was seven years old.
And everybody looks at success nowadays like, Well, he just got lucky, or this or that.
Do you see yourself doing more TV work in the future?
But not more so me being actually on the screen.
Im very intrigued about making things come to life, and showing the artistic side to myself.
And I dont necessarily have to be on TV to show that.
So youre interested in maybe directing or producing something?
Of course, yes.
So obviously youve been an athlete for most of your life.
Yes, I mean… there was a lot of things that I wanted to do.
But as you grow up, there are things where you realize that thats not your shiniest coin.
You have dreams and ambitions to do certain things.
And just the percentages of a person becoming a professional athlete is extremely low, and I understood that.
Have your teammates seen the show yet?
Or do you think theyll check it out once its out?
No, I dont think nobodys necessarily checked it out [yet].
Im not saying that a lot of people dont necessarily know, but its kind of different.
You know, in my field, if youre on TV, youre probably talking about football.
And thats one of the main things I want to go upstream from.
I dont necessarily want to go that approach.
