To me, it's about always trying to make decisions that reflect my leadership and who I am.

Leadership, to me, is about the ability to have people want to hear what you have to say. People want to be around you, people want to believe in what you tell them, and they feel good when they walk away from you about who they are and what they're doing.

Leadership is a position where you want to create the opportunity to inspire people to walk along beside you, not listen to what you say.

Mess up and draft somebody at my position, because you are going to sit around and watch him sit the bench. That's always been my mentality. I see it as a challenge.

Most tall golfers don't have a lot of success. You have trouble getting steep on the ball too much. Stance, posture, all those things can be bad.

When you get into these NFL rushers - the power, the speed, the bull rush, and all those kind of things - it's just different than college football.

Freedom is a part of protest as well.

People fought hard for freedoms; they didn't fight hard for one mentality. If you really talk about what the country was founded on and what those people are protecting who went to war and fought these wars and give us our freedoms and are fighting for our freedoms, I think you have to really ask yourself what is involved in freedom.

No matter what job you have, you're in control of your attitude. That, to me, is my biggest focus every day - being on the energy bus.

I feel like what's made me the player I am is always being willing to take the challenge.

It's our country. I have a lot of pride in it and the flag and what that's about and all the people who fought for it.

There's a lot of veteran players that, honestly, being comfortable where they play is more important. And that's just not me.
