I was a defensive lineman coming out of high school who was considered amongst the top maybe the top six guys, top five guys, and wanted to prove to my team that I was going to be a top guy going into college.

I understand there's damage control to do on my image, but people are always gonna have their opinion of me no matter what. I understand 100 people may like me and 1,000 people may hate me. That's fine.

Coach Bo Pelini and coach Carl Pelini are two coaches I talk to on a regular basis, especially coach Bo. They are coaches I feel elevated my game.

The players who said I am the dirtiest player in the league, it's ultimately their opinion, but I would love to hear from many of them on their true opinion on that.

My job is to defeat the guy in front of me, do it until he quits, and then wait for them to send in the next guy.

I'm attracted to Ferraris and Bentleys, but I don't know if I'll ever have a chance to own one of those.

You learn from your mistakes, or you go backward. I'm the kind of person who wants to move forward.
