I have a great family. I can call them and they don't want to talk just football They want to find out how my day went outside of football.

When there are doubters, it always fuels the fire a little bit. When people say you can't do something, if you are a competitor, that drives you.

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.

Leadership is something you earn, something you're chosen for. You can't come in yelling, 'I'm your leader!' If it happens, it's because the other guys respect you.

I'm a win-at-all-costs guy.

I try to live my life like my father lives his. He always takes care of everyone else first. He won't even start eating until he's sure everyone else in the family has started eating. Another thing: My dad never judges me by whether I win or lose.

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