Do NFL players perceive themselves as stars?

It just depends on the player. I know when I played in the NFL, I didn't get caught up in all that. I was just who I am. I've always been who I am, so I'm just going to keep making plays and doing the things that I do well and if celebrity or something comes with that, then so be it, but I think some players, they like the idea of being in the NFL whether they're on the practice squad or whether they're on the 45-man active roster. They made it in their eyes, and they're stars, and when they go to their local bars and clubs, they're stars, you know. So I think it depends on the person. If you're a well-rounded, well-grounded person, you'll know why you got there, what got you there, and you're going to keep doing the things that improve your game and make yourself a better player, so it just depends on the person, whether or not they're going to get caught up in all the hype.
