I feel like, growing up, I watched football, obviously, and you see great players, and as a fan, you want to watch the best you can possibly watch, and you want to see what's capable of being made.

What I remember most about high school are the memories I created with my friends.

The one thing I know is, if I play good ball, things have tended to come along with it. Everything that I've ever done in my career has come off of playing good football. And so I realize I need to go out there, and I need to take care of my business; then everything else - all these cool, great things - come along with it.

It sounds weird when you complain about having to eat so much, but it's like a job.

I grew up in Baltimore. And yes, I am a big sports fan, especially when it comes to my local teams.

Any time you factor in the enthusiasm that comes with college sports, it comes with a whole new level. It is less corporate, it's more of an unharnessed kidlike enthusiasm.

I played professional level sports. When you're playing for money, it's a whole other level.

Emotion is a good thing, but top level football can be tough, and you have to be in control.
