He claims that he would rather be known for and participate in playing football than anything else in life.

“There is nothing else in life I would have rather be known as, rather do, than play football. There's nothing.”

He maintains that despite the physical toll of his football career, he would still choose to play if given the opportunity again.

“if you take me back to 14-year-old Channing, I'm still strapping it up.”

He claims that football was the career he was born to perform and that he would not have let anything deter him from pursuing it.

“I don't think there was going to be anything or any person to deter me from playing the game and approaching the game the way I approached it.”
