The NFL player loves sneaking some time to catch up with his wife, even if it just for a few minutes.

Asked about his ideal date night, he said: "Sometimes it's just five minutes, sometimes for me it's just a car ride home. You just don't get as many opportunities, but when you do get them, you make sure that you take advantage. I think it's just finding the right time and space to take for yourself so you can focus on the things you want to do and accomplish.

"I like whatever it is, as long as we're together. Whether it's movies or dinner or walks or whatever, our lives are busy. Especially during the football season for me, I don't get a lot of time, but whenever I do get the time, it's a precious time for me."

And the 39-year-old sportsman insists it is important for him to make time for himself too.

He told PEOPLE magazine: "I think it's important for everybody to find the space for themselves. You always need that. When those airplanes are going down, they say put your mask on first so you can help other people.

"I think you need to find the oxygen yourself so that you can be the person you want to be. If you're helping everyone else all the time and you never have time for yourself, you can get worn out pretty quickly."
