Basketball was always my first love, but once I had a good year as a senior, I figured the next step was to play college football.

People don't realize that I'm mobile, athletic and strong-armed.

Hines Ward, Plaxico Burress, Jerome Bettis-they are great leaders. I listen to everything they say.

Big Ben just kept building up. It ended up coming off the field. It kept taking over. Superman kept taking over Clark Kent and you just never saw who Ben Roethlisberger was any more.

If I do get nervous for a game, they usually go away after the first play. For the Super Bowl, it never went away.

My family and friends and teammates, just having their support has been unbelievable.

You have to be able to step up when your name is called.
