“The way it was presented to me obviously was not that way (data being shared with China). You try to get better in your field, and you’re willing to do what it takes, legally, to get better at your craft.

“I believe in training the brain. But you’ve got to be careful who you do it with, you’ve got to make sure you do your research. Nobody on my team could even have thought it was a possibility, but that’s the world we live in nowadays with all this AI and technology.”

He added: “Who knows, the information that we are putting in, what that could be used for. We need a right to protect ourselves from that. I don’t know how personalized it is to me, I don’t know if they’re able to track my thoughts or something with that but that’s all pretty alarming to me. I definitely need to look into that.”

“The harder you tried, the slower it would go. It made me realize we can’t just will everything to happen. So when the two-minute warning in the final drive against Tom Brady is happening, I’m not freaking out like some players.”
