I try to take what's given to me and then mold it to be a better football player.

Any time you can squeeze out the opportunity to get better, you should.

There's so much that I like about Pittsburgh, actually. The cultural district and museums are wonderful, and I encourage everyone to check them out. And the food is excellent, too!

When I'm done playing football, I just might be the couch potato dad.

On the field is a place where you can just let it loose and react to everything with violence.

I don't look at football as a violent, barbaric sport. It's a very spiritual sport, especially for someone facing the challenges during a game: the fear of failure, the fear of getting too big an ego, of making a mistake and everybody criticizing you.

I've never been a fan of individual awards because football is such a team sport. There's so many things that goes into making plays. It's about teammates trusting one another and working together.
