I can never let the guy across from me be in better shape. I have to be the best-conditioned guy.

I think the locker room is a huge part of the football team and often is a part thats overlooked. The chemistry in your locker room has a lot to do with how youre going to go out there and perform.

When success finds you, it's because you were looking for it.

I love to see new things, and I love to learn. I always learn so much when I travel - that's the best thing.

I do what I'm coached to do. That's part of being a team leader and captain. The job will change week in and week out, and it's not for you to question what your job is - it's to go out there and execute your assignments.

If you play football, theres going to be a 100 percent injury rate. Something is going to be bothering you. So I just try to focus on the things that I can do to help my team.

I think the biggest thing for all athletes is recovery - being able to bounce back from week to week, practice to practice, to come back in top form.
