"We did not talk about much of your retirement and I wanted to make sure that you didn’t feel any pressure from me to keep going knowing I wanted you to keep going. I wanted you to keep playing this game," the NFL tight end said.
"You’ve always been a step ahead of me in this game. … In this game alone, a step ahead of me. It’s always been like I’ve had that flotation device right there. To have you out of it, man it feels empty and it definitely feels, it’s complete."
