I grew up on the game.

What I can control and all I know as of today, I am signed up for one more year...I guess things could change, but with all the uncertainty in many aspects, I don't see (his decision not to sign an extension) changing before camp gets here, and when camp gets here I'm even more certain to play it out.

It's time for me to step up and take control. That's what I've always been used to.

Anybody who has watched me play knows I'm not one of the fastest guys, but I understand what's going on around me and what to look for. I know what the defense is doing.

I've been calling plays in the huddle since I was seven.

I'm excited about the opportunity to get out there and show not only what I can do but, more importantly, what this team can do with me in there.

I've already developed trust in my teammates -as a player and as a person.
