When I was growing up as a kid I was playing football or baseball or something else in the back yard, ... I always dreamed of becoming a National Football League player.

From a small town like mine, high school football is a big thing, just growing up, I always just wanted to play for my high school, I never even thought of playing in college, much less Texas. Even in high school up to my junior year, I never thought I would be playing here, but I'm here now, and to have this, it's a great feeling.

Growing up I was a soccer player. I didn't even watch college football until my junior year when I started getting mail and then I wanted to know these teams.

We're growing up, and we've got growing pains,

I think it's from moving around so much when I was growing up.

It reminds me of Miami when I was growing up in the 1950s. They've got grocery stores that make a 7-Eleven look like a Wal-Mart.
