Football is a chess game to me. If you move your pawn against my bishop, I'll counter that move to beat you. Football is the same way. I study so much film that I know exactly what teams are going to do. I love knowing what a offense is going to run and stuffing that play. Junior Seau beatbishopchess share on social
I wanted to perform well for my mom and dad, because in high school, I didn't have a job. My brothers, they worked at Pizza Hut or places like that, but sports, that was my way of giving back. Junior Seau backbrotherdad Change image and share on social
I was a quarterback in pee-wee football. I always wanted to be quarterback. They're the leaders, they make the calls. It didn't work out because I didn't have the arm. I also played wide receiver my senior year in high school. Junior Seau armcallfootball share on social
For dinner I want real sushi - not the Americanized kind. My parents are American Samoan so I don't go for any of those rolls. I'll have raw prawn or sea urchin or octopus. I love it. Junior Seau americanamericanizedinner Change image and share on social
From my old neighborhood, I learned nothing was guaranteed, not even life itself. You better get it today, because tomorrow is not promised. Junior Seau guaranteelearnlife Change image and share on social
I've tried to bring the mentality of the outside linebacker to the inside and the rough, tough style of an inside linebacker to the outside. The middle linebacker always has been known as kind of a big plugger. Outside guys are known to be able to run. I just try to make big plays wherever I am. Junior Seau bigbringguy share on social
No, I didn't forget Samoan - I understand it when you talk to me but, you know, to put phrases together I sound like I do in English. Junior Seau englishforgetphrase Change image and share on social
I had parents who instilled in me the importance of love, morals and hard work. I give God all the glory because he has brought me through so much. Junior Seau bringgiveglory Change image and share on social
As a sophomore, I wanted to play varsity in three sports. And I accomplished that. It was a great feat that year, and something I held special. I wanted to bring a championship team to Oceanside High School, and it happened. It was a great year that I will never forget. Junior Seau accomplishbringchampionship share on social
