“He's a guy you want on your defense, a guy the quarterback has to think about every single play.”
—Teammate Peyton Manning

"He had everything we wanted—speed, athletic ability, character, work habits, production. That's what we look for in a football player. The fact he was 6-1 was of no consequence to us.”
—Colts President Bill Polian

“Dwight's exciting—just so fast, I love to watch him play. I think what makes him amazing is that he can just flat-out run.”
—Teammate Larry Tripplett

“He's a guy with a lot of natural skills, and he came to us with speed and quickness.”
—Former Colts head coach Tony Dungy

"We're very proud of Dwight.”
—Former Syracuse head coach Paul Pasqualoni

"He has such a desire to win, and every single play, he wants to get the quarterback.”
—Dwight’s high school coach John Cochran

"This guy is an athlete the way an oak is a tree, the way a hammer is a tool, the way sirloin is a steak.”
—Sportswriter Bud Poliquin

“My husband and I didn't want either of them to play football.”
—Joy Freeney
