“I want to be the greatest player who has ever been at my position, the greatest player who has ever played.”
“You want to be Defensive Player of the Year.”
“I gotta win. Winning is just not enough. I have to do my best.”
“You played 'Snake' on it. That's what we had a cell phone for, when my mother would let us use it. When you had it, you set it down at the table, you set it down in the other room, we ate, and you enjoyed your time with your family.”
“I like to go and take pictures.”
“I feel like everybody's on the same level. Nobody's done anything more important than any other. People have gifts in other areas. You weren't blessed with them; they were blessed with them.”
“My dad gives me goals, and then I kind of go even farther beyond those.”
“Can't force anything. Can't try and make a play that somebody else is supposed to make.”
“I'm not satisfied with doing well or doing good.”
“If I hope for four or five sacks, and I only get two or three, that's still a good week for me, so I gotta go out there with those high hopes, those high expectations, and try to achieve them.”
“I'm too competitive to try and ride on somebody's coattails to get a W.”
“I won't take bullcrap from anybody.”
“A great team versus another great team, your performance is going to go down. But my job is to improve my consistency where, when I dominate against the lesser teams, go and do well and do the same amount of work when I'm going against the Alabamas and the LSUs, and it will come.”
“I want to be dominant from day one.”
“I love making the big play. I love being out there with my teammates. I love the camaraderie. I can't say I always love practice. But it's a means to an end.”
“I can give it my all and make plays and dominate my side of the field, but it takes all 11 guys with a certain thought process that we're going to go out there, and we're going to win.”
“I'm not really a numbers guy, but I always have a goal in mind.”
“I've already said I like the Cowboys because that's my hometown team. Everybody knows you're going to like your hometown team.”
“Sometimes you have to stutter step; sometimes you have to spin inside. You have to run some games.”
“I can always do better. I can always find a way to make more plays and be more effective.”
