My main focus is ball. I know what butters my toast. I know what my job is and what is expected of me, and that's what's first and foremost.

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

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

When it's time to focus in and play ball during the season, 100% of my focus is on that. When it's the offseason and I've got time to be away and I can do other interests - they don't conflict. I'm good at compartmentalizing. I can put everything in its appropriate box at the time and open it up when I need to at a later time.

I have some sweets now and then, but I wouldnt say I have a major sweet tooth.

You can lead in multiple ways. I try and lead by example, and make sure that I'm always accountable to my teammates. That starts off with my commitment to waking up early, training hard, lifting weights, and running. It's in my nutrition. It's just making sure I always put myself in the best possible position.
