Every play I'm competing my tail off to try to win the route, win the block or whatever my job is on that play.

I believe that, deep down at heart, I'm a football player.

I like to go full speed all the time.

I feel like pace is a huge part of being successful through preseason and then on into the season.

I want to play football at a high level.

Coach Gase is one of the guys.

For me, if I wasn't going to get a full scholarship to go to school, I was going to go to the Army or Navy so I could avoid debt.

However you can affect somebody positively is what you should aspire to do.

My inspiration on the field is Tom Brady. My inspiration off the field is Gronk.

My favorite player growing up was Wayne Chrebet, and the day I met him was one of the best days of my life. It's something I'll never forget, no matter who your role models are, no matter who you look up to.
