- I'm not going to get back on the field. I think everybody's aware of that," "But I'm just thankful and want to let the right people know I appreciate everything they've done for me.
- When I look at the stands during pregame, or even in between series' or walking into the stadium or driving in, and I see a father and son or family, and they're all wearing my jersey - I know what that feels like and it's amazing that I've had that impact on people," he said. "I'm glad I gave them something to believe in. Everybody knew that when I got a rise out of the crowd is when I knew I made a good play. It wasn't just making the play; it was just getting the fans on their feet that made me happiest when I was on the field.
- Just to feel what it's like to drive to a game with the music on and see everybody with your jersey on and hearing the 'Jets' chant and being the center of that, it's been the greatest 11 years of my life.
- I will always be a New York Jet. I am glad I played my entire career here.
- I dedicate my whole career to the people who helped me achieve it. Thank you.
- I think it's just human nature, when you get backed into a corner, no one believes in you anymore, the chips are down. If you're any kind of competitor, that's when you'll come out and play well.
- I made myself believe I could do these things, part of that made me the player I was, and part of it ended my career. But when I got here, I decided I would fear no player here or in my career.
- My first day here (as an undrafted walk-on at Jets camp), a 70-year-old security guard didn't let me into practice. I could either laugh it off and go on my journey or take it as a sign that it wasn't going to happen. I didn't take it as a sign. I believed in myself.
- People say it all the time, but it's truly, truly, truly an honor. It's not something I expected at any point in my career, that they'd have a Wayne Chrebet Day. I'm just looking forward to getting back on the field one more time.
- I enjoy the interaction (with the fans), because someday they won't want my autograph. Somebody once told me that.
- I'm happy. Who wouldn't trade for the career I've had? Tell them I'm happy, because I really am.
