Boy, I'll tell you, when the Rams drafted me No. 1, it surprised me. I was walking on air for days.

He took me under his wing when I first came to the Rams and taught me everything - his technique in the pass rush, how to play off blockers, and how to make the big play.

I visualize things in my mind before I have to do them. It's like having a mental workshop.

The emotions of the game do not change.

One day, though, I was asked if I'd like to go to the University of Florida and become a Gator.

Good luck is a residue of preparation.

By that time I was thinking a little about pro ball and hopeful that someone would draft me.
