My dad was real hard on me. He wasn't really big on congratulating and stuff like that.

To me, it really doesn't matter where they line me up.

I kind of really study different angles of the film. You see how people's bodies are, how they react to certain kind of moves - what foot they step with, what hand they jab with, and all that. Just little things like that, that you pick up when you watch film. Studying is big for me.

That's what you want... you work hard, you want your guys to, you know, work the same way you work, and it all helps the team.

It's not like I can't play football with some injuries.

I wanted to go to the underdog team - I wanted to build something somewhere like a lot of the other guys who stayed home at Maryland, like Vernon Davis and players like that. I wanted to stay home and do it in front of my family and my friends... Those thing matter to me.
