Nothing.

Nothing! Nothing should be wrong with it, but like, the media—”You shouldn’t be talking like that, that team went 0-16”—I wasn't part of that. If anybody trains not to win the Super Bowl, they shouldn't be playing this game. It's as simple as that. And, individually, just be the best. I think if I'm not mistaken, it's 156 catches, 1,900 yards, and 24 touchdowns.

What's that?

That's the leading statistic in every category for a receiver.* It's held by three different people, but at the same time, that's my goal… I don't want to be some guy that just puts the jersey on and, "Oh, he played here for three years." When I take that off, put that shit up in the banners.

I always think it's funny when people ask you, or when people ask players in general, "Do you think you're the best receiver in the League?" Because it puts you in such a shitty spot.

Right. What am I supposed to say? I respect Antonio Brown. Do I think he's the best? Hell, that dude is badass. Odell is crazy. Julio Jones? For me, I feel like in my career, no one really gives me credit for having the most catches in the first four years. Just things that I've done, whether it was in the slot or on the outside. It got to the point where it's like, recognize that shit. It almost took me saying it, coming from the humble "I feel like I'm one of the best receivers in the league" to me having to be like, "I feel like I'm the most complete receiver." I block, I will play special teams, whatever.

How much of the noise do you hear?

I try to tone it out... You know, you see all kinds of shit, and you see criticism, you see praises, and that's the thing that I've heard about all the time. I never want to get caught up in praises. Never want to get caught up in people telling me how good I am.

You think that's more toxic than criticism?

That's more toxic. Because at some point in your career, you're going to get a lot more praise than you will criticism. The great ones really get criticized about everything. Like LeBron—I'm not comparing myself to LeBron—but for anything, if they lose the game, it's LeBron's fault. If he took the last shot and he missed—it just gets high criticism. But at the same time, could you imagine how many people that just truly love him and love what he's doing and tell him everyday, "Bro, you're the greatest shit since sliced bread"? And sometimes that's easy to get caught up into, and then you start feeling yourself and you start becoming something that you're not.

...Some things fuel me that I see. A lot of times it's where I see a guy that I respect, if he does or says some criticizing stuff, I'm not answering it [by] talking back to him, but I want to find a way to answer it with my game. So a lot of the talk before I got paid was "He's a slot receiver.” And going into my final year at Miami, I wanted to show people that no, I can do everything. No matter where you put me on the field, I'm going to make shit happen. I ended up getting paid, but that probably was like the one thing that I took to heart: "He's a slot receiver, he doesn't deserve to get paid like a number one receiver."

When you see something like that headline your brother just showed you about your time in Miami, what’s your reaction to that?

Well, it's funny and it's frustrating. I think that throughout this whole process of moving to Miami, everybody created this narrative that I hated Coach Gase, or that I hated Miami. That's not the case. Just like anybody has differences at their workplace, it won't always be good. And I just hate how that has been portrayed. And, to a degree, I don't even want to answer any Miami questions. Because no matter what I say, people are going to write what they want to write, or when a writer reads what somebody else wrote, they’ll find that one little piece and say, "Oh, he said this." You missed the other ten thousand words.
