“My dad was always at work running a business, so our mom really took care of us. She'd bring us all to our practices, and we all basically played four sports: baseball, hockey, football, and basketball.”

“Growing up in Buffalo, you always hated the Dolphins, but I just remember my one friend always liked the opposite team, and he liked the Dolphins, so I remember always going at it with him.”

“We definitely have a football mentality. My dad was a football player also, so just growing up, that's how it was.”

“I love the warm weather being from Buffalo.”

“I definitely watch the older guys. I'm always watching; that's how I learn.”

“I earn everything that I get.”

“Usually, you have one blocking, one catching tight end.”

“It's always fun to go home and play, but you gotta stay focused on the game.”
