I'm on such an emotional high ... my adrenaline alone will carry me through it. |
I'm on the smart end of things, |
I've been really anxious to get back on the football field. The main thing now is its over with. |
If they had new plays, Charlie called me to tell me what plays they went over. |
It felt good to pretty much play the whole game. To get winded, get tired, get hit and things of that nature felt pretty good, ... I think everything went well. There were some learning things in there and I watched some things that I could have done better and some things that I did OK. ... Now we are ready to move forward and play Chicago. |
It talked about the kind of man that he is and as a player you always want this kind of coach. You always dream to play for this kind of coach. |
It was weird at first but then it was kind of fun. I was just laughing and cracking jokes, being a cheerleader. |
It's moving along real well, |
It's time for me to make plays, ... That's what it's time for. |
Michigan taught me a lot. It taught me a lot about maturity, accountability, dependability. And there were so many things to meet, having that number, things I would have earned. If I had went to Michigan and just worn 80 and had a good career, I wouldn't have fulfilled what I wanted. |
My mom, she's the general, ... She runs the team. She has always been my inspiration. She's a very, very strong woman. She's passive and laid back and calm, but at the same time she can get in your grill, on your case. I believe that every good parent evolves, that a parent keeps growing until it's time for their kids to be on their own. That's the way she was. |
Some fathers and sons don't get along that well when they're younger because they can't find a way to reach each other, ... A father loves you dearly but you don't see it and so you're always trying to please your father, but your father doesn't let you know how he feels, which is, you don't have to please him because he already loves you. |
That's what I do. That's what I was drafted for, ... I was drafted to make plays, and it gets to a point where you have to give it to the guy who is here to make plays. |
The first thing I want to do is learn the Cleveland Browns' offense. What I mean by that is not just being able to read the plays, but being in sync with everybody and knowing where everybody is going to be on every play and doing every thing I can to help the team. What I can do to help the team is wait to come back when I'm 100 percent and then do the things I started to do before I left. |
The first time they throw me the ball. |
