Thoughts on Art Basel: “I was an art major in college and continued to do it while I was in the NFL. Regardless of what was going on with life, I always saw myself as an artist.
How to get the younger generation more involved in art: “I think with the kind of exposure and transition that’s taking place socially, the art seen is like the new rock scene. Everyone wants to be with the hot artists. I think we’re getting back to the ’70s and ’80s when you had prominent artists such as Andy Warhol and Jean-Michel Basquiat, who were the influential, in artists on the social scene. We don’t care about being the most recognized or the most renowned, but we want to be the most influential.”
