In football, you are going to have highs and lows, and you have to recognize when you have new opportunities and walk in those.

We have a culture in Freeport, especially in our football department. We feel that we're the best team on Long Island, in New York, hands down.

Change is the end of something you know and the beginning of something else that you don't know. Something new that holds opportunities.

I received a call from Jets general manager Mike Tannenbaum and head coach Eric Mangini. They asked me if I was ready to become a New York Jet. I quickly answered 'yes' and began to hug everyone at the table.

I'm a beast (on the football field). I see myself as a bodyguard. I'm personally responsible for the health and welfare of my quarterback. I'll do anything in my means to protect him.

I wouldn't mind being like X-Men and having the claws. I mean, I don't think they'd let me play football, but it would look cool.
