My mom, how she raised me, my brothers, my cousins, when I was a kid with one bedroom for 12 people... You think about all that, and God blessed me to get somewhere and do something I love and do something I've done since I was a kid. And blessed me with the talent to do it.

I've been doubted my whole life, especially coming out of college with the injuries I had.

I'm not going to be done until the man up above says so. It's not me, it's Him. As long as I'm healthy enough to be out there and train and my body feels good, I'm going to do it.

As long as I'm healthy and feeling good, I will compete with anybody.

I could've easily gone the other way, but luckily, I had football and the dream to play in the NFL so I could do something positive with my life.

I'm from Miami, you know, when you're a child, you always want to play in front of your hometown.

My first year playing Pop Warner football, my mom had to change my birth certificate because I was too young. I was 5, I think, and you were supposed to be 6.

If I can go compete with the young guys during training in the offseason, I should be fine during football.

When it's time to play, I'm going to come play. I'm going to play the right way. I'm going to try to help my team in all directions, blocking and catching. If I don't have the ball in my hand, I'm going to protect, block down the field. I'm going to do whatever it takes to win.

Every time I got opportunities, I did something with it.

I take it one game at a time, one year at a time.

I don't care what age I am. If I continue to train and feel good and enjoy the locker room and this organization wants me and I feel I can do it, I'm going to do it, no matter what my age.
