This was the last place I'd want to go. There were probably a dozen I-AA schools I would have rather gone to when I was in high school. But I just believed in what he was saying.

It's still relatively cheap compared to other schools and professional teams. The team will be worth the price of admission.

That one surprised me, Every defensive lineman wants to run pass routes. I think it went very well.

Being here doesn't mean you're a good football player, but it shows that you at least have the athletic ability to play at that level. Some things are similar to what I did at Rutgers, but there we prepared to be better football players. Here we're preparing to be better test-takers.

I had never thought much of Rutgers; I was going to go to Northwestern, Pittsburgh or Wake Forest. My high school coach had to talk me into [attending].

A lot of people thought I wouldn't be able to play again.
