Michigan State means so much to my life and me.

What's my status? I'm just a guy from Saginaw, Michigan, trying to make it. But you know, pretty nice crib.

If there is one constant to my life, it is that you cannot tell me 'no.'

If I was him, I'd never do anything in the state of Michigan again.

One thing I've always been taught at the defensive end is you hit first. In life, you throw the first punch; you don't get punched first. It's the same on defense: You've got to hit first. Do your work early. That's what I was always taught. If you don't do your work early, you're done.

You learn from adversity more than anything because it allows you to see so much. It really allows you to see things in a different way.
