I was a college football fanatic, and I wanted to play, not sit on the sidelines. It's tough when you know you're just a project.

Sometimes I stress too much and don't have fun. If you're trying to be perfect, sometimes it backfires on you.

That's where the challenge has been. Balancing football and life. Trying not to replay every play in my head while I'm with my family. Sometimes, I've done it well. Other times, I haven't.

When I'm decisive, I feel I do a good job.

Sitting let me learn what the NFL is all about.

I'm a strategic guy. I'm gonna figure out ways to hurt the defense, but it's not gonna be about throwing a ball through a wall.

Byron is one tough guy and he can play through just about anything. I know he will be ready to go on Sunday.
