Russell Wilson is currently at the forefront of the NFL MVP race.

Russell Wilson [is] the MVP now, forefront of the MVP race. Even though he threw that interception and over time, the people are just forgetting... Russell Wilson is fucking ridiculous.

George Kittle is the best tight end in the NFL

They were missing George Kittle though... that is a big loss because he's probably the best tight end in the NFL.

Russell Wilson is the one player I would trust most with the ball late in a game.

He is for my money the number one guy and I know it kind of spits in the face of the fact that he threw an interception. He is the one guy who I would want trust the most with the ball down late in the game.

I could still come back and catch 80 passes for the 49ers today.

I still got about 80 catches in me. So if the 49ers have a couple injuries, they can call me. I really do think I still could get out there. I played for over 20 years and I can still block [the pain] out and still play.

I would have cut my own finger off like Ronnie Lott to avoid missing any playing time

They told me that story man and I was like, wow, did he actually do that? For real? For real? Did he didn't want to miss any time. So he decided to tell them to just you know, nip the edge... [Big Cat: Would you have done the same?] Without any hesitation. No. Okay. There you go.

Modern NFL players do not commit to their craft as hard as players did in the past.

I think players, they thought I was crazy and they don't have to do [that training] anymore. It's a lot different now and I think guys they just don't—maybe that's not right for me to say—they just don't commit to their craft like we did back in the day.
