You have to have a plan. This isn't wishing. Instead of always being in a hopeful situation - like, 'I hope one day ...' - let's claim it now.

When a 300-pound person like me is playing, I'm supposed to drink at least a gallon of water a day.

Being an offensive lineman, you always have the mindset of being an unsung hero - a lot of the people who look at the game follow the ball.

Prior to my arrival at the Crowne Plaza in Indianapolis, my agent and I decided that it would be best not to participate in any drills at the combine. We wanted to wait until my pro day at Virginia, where I could limit the distractions and just focus on being my best.

This is it. This is the big one. It's now or never and we've got to put everything on the line. This is the last time we're going to get the ball, so this is our last chance.

You're always facing the top defenders in this league. To go out there and do your best, that's all you can ask for.
