I was awful at football when I was a little kid. I didn't have the aggressiveness. I was just a nice kid. I didn't want to hurt anyone.

It's important to me to be a complete player.

I'm my own biggest critic. I'm the one who has to go home and look at myself in the mirror.

I'm looking forward to making a Super Bowl run in Atlanta every year.

I'd rather just stay quiet and play the game. Winning is hard enough as it is.

I love football. The games are a pure rush. By the time I'm done playing, I want to be among the best tight ends ever to play the game.

Football is my love. Football is what I'm going to do. I'm a football player first.
