Doing the right things in life are more important than football. I love the game very much. I love my teammates, but this is the right thing for me to do.”

Brent was indicted for intoxication manslaughter charges in December 2012 after the car he was driving flipped and killed friend and teammate Jerry Brown in Irving, Texas, on Dec. 8.
