I was a Panthers fan growing up, being close to Carolina. ”

Any football player will tell you that in July you get this dark cloud over you if you know camp's coming. ”

The lead initiative of my foundation is clean water, but not far behind it is military appreciation. ”

My dad and I shared a lot of football memories. ”

There was a time when I was injured and playing really bad and cut, rightfully so, that I wasn't sure what my future in football was. ”

Everyone fears change. But what you'll find is that change breeds your most important accomplishments. ”

I've noticed that right tackles have gotten better in pass pro throughout my career. ”

In my career playing football, nobody asked me to do as much as Bill Belichick did. ”

It's unbelievable how far my career has taken me. ”

I think preparing every week like it's the most important game in the world makes things a little easier once you get in situations where a lot more people are watching and it might be a lot more important for people outside of the building. ”
