“It's a part of my game, something I've done since I was a little kid. Whenever I have an opportunity to do it, I feel comfortable outside the pocket. Big plays happen that way.”

“You just have to focus on that you can do day to day.”

“Obviously I love Nashville, I love Tennessee. It's a great organization to play for.”

“I think teams really want to see how you respond picking up and grasping things and if you can make changes and regurgitate that information.”

“If it's a card game, or it's a preseason game, or it's a regular season game, I just go out there to try to win. For me, that's all I know how to do it and I'll never change that.”

“My high school was in the private school league, and we played all our games at the college stadium. It wasn't like we filled it, but we got a good crowd.”

“There's no reason to be angry or impolite.”

“I love the game and I want to be part of this for a long time.”

“It is, to me, a goal of mine to come back to Hawaii and to play in the Pro Bowl.”

“Any time you're recovering from an injury, your main focus is trying to get back into shape, really just getting healthy again.”

“I really believe in a community effort.”

“I don't have a nickname and I'm not looking for one.”

“If we win games, those other things - awards and all of that - will take care of themselves.”

“I'm really interested in sports medicine.”

“It's a contact sport. At some point, I'll get hit and that's part of it. I'm not worried about it.”

“My mentality is still the same. I have to continue to get better.”

“I get to play a game that I love and I'm going to make the most of it.”

“My family has always valued my education.”

“I guess I'd be nervous to skate and do hockey. Growing up in Hawaii there's not a lot of ice.”

“I learned a long time ago through my dad that you shouldn't really compare yourself to others - just because that hampers how good you can be.”
