Mike Daniels

I'm hard on myself.

Whether you're praying, meditating, you're getting silent, relaxing your mind... and you definitely want to train hard - in the weight room, on the track. You need to do all of it.

The second guy always gets caught, and that's why you have to initiate it instead of retaliating.

I say I'm the strongest in the NFL, but the yoga has helped me to a point where I can't be moved off the line, because I know how to get rooted in the ground and use the energy around me.

In order to be one of the best defensive linemen in the NFL - which I am - it's doing things that other people aren't willing to do.

Embrace the fact that you are different... Don't think you're alone. Embrace it. Love it.

You're not going to change me. I love being me.

I love Mike Pettine. He thinks exactly like I do.

I'm an East Coast guy and always will be. But I'm always going to find my way back to Green Bay whether I'm living here or not. Green Bay is a great place. Green Bay is awesome.

Be yourself and work as hard as you can. Don't let anybody influence you to not be yourself.

I've always just tried to be a guy who will lead by example, and I feel like if something has to be said, I will say it.

When you're a defensive lineman, to get your hands on the ball, it's a dream. It's everybody's dream.
