That's a picture of the girl he hooked up with the first night we went out during training camp. I'm not kidding. That's her -- almost exactly.

I was awful at football when I was a little kid. I didn't have the aggressiveness. I was just a nice kid. I didn't want to hurt anyone.

Tight end is one of the hardest positions to play in football. It's right up there with quarterback and cornerback. You have to have the skills of a wide receiver and the strength of an offensive lineman, and it's not easy to balance those two.

I don't care if it's politics, religion or football. I believe you have to keep opening your mind. And shut your mouth sometimes!

I love football. The games are a pure rush. By the time I'm done playing, I want to be among the best tight ends ever to play the game.
