“When I was in high school, I wasn't thinking about getting a scholarship. I was thinking about trying to go and dominate. Same thing in college. I just have to focus on playing the best football I can.”

“When we're on the football field, it's me vs. him. Maybe it's me vs. two of them. Maybe it's me vs. three of them. It's a fight. And you have to take that fighter's mentality out there.”

“You name me a Super Bowl that had a pacifistic defense, and I'll give you my paycheck. I'm serious. There aren't any.”

“'JoJo's Bizarre Adventures' - it took a long time for that to get animated because the old-school animation wouldn't have the glorious nature of JoJo justice. Watching shows like that and 'Super Kia,' 'Black Clover,' 'Attack on Titan,' being able to watch some anime the night before the game definitely helps relax me.”

“Nothing was ever handed to me. I mean nothing.”

“The second guy always gets caught, and that's why you have to initiate it instead of retaliating.”

“Just getting to the NFC Championship isn't good enough. Winning the Super Bowl is what the expectations are.”

“I know Geno Atkins is a big anime fan. Cameron Jordan, Larry Warford, my boy Adam Gettis is a big anime fan.”

“If I ended up having a big name, I'm still going to keep that fire because that's what just drives the great ones.”

“It's kind of crazy to say your home field is Lambeau Field.”

“Embrace the fact that you are different... Don't think you're alone. Embrace it. Love it.”

“If they're coming out full-steam, you come out harder. That's just how it is. It's the game of football.”

“I really wanted to be the biggest, baddest guy - not to mess with anybody, just so nobody would mess with me.”

“As a parent, you just want to really make sure your kids understand what you are trying to say as much as their maturity level will allow them to.”

“I want my presence to be felt whenever I step on the field.”

“I really feel that if you impose your will on somebody, eventually they'll break.”

“Communication is key in any relationship - especially in a team sport, and football is the ultimate team sport.”

“I am a bit sassy, with some sarcasm thrown into the mix, but stoic at the same time - and brash.”

“You're not going to change me. I love being me.”

“Some of those 10, nine-year vets, they know some things that your typical college senior wouldn't. I've come across some guards in the NFL that know how to use their hands better than D-linemen in college. I guess they've learned from their enemies.”
